i just planned the rest of my life

i just planned the rest of my life
by clicking "submit" on the
online registration of classes.

i am going to be a linguist.

i've never been so certain
of anything so big and demanding
but it looked good at the time
so here i go with half of my fall schedule in place

and the beginning of the rest of my life in place

check the appropriate box for
the major you are declaring,
said the form

and who knew i had to fill out a form
for intention
of declaration
for concentration?

college is halfway done,
but my life's still just begun.
