The end.....

I cannot believe this is the end.....

I knew that this week would come, but I still can't believe it is here. When I decided to go back to school I knew that I would finish but it seemed so far away. I remember looking at all the classes and dreading the math I would have to get through. And it is all done. I have to say that I am proud of myself. I am excited that I did this. It would have been so easy not to. To just work. To just go on with my life and say, "You know I really should get a bachelor's degree someday." I am proud of myself.

Wait a minute, this isn't the end. I haven't done the credential program yet. Damn. I was so sure this was the end. Now is the moment where I feel that I will be in school forever. I have to remind myself that the hardest part IS over. I will get the credential program done just like I did with my B.A. I will do it. I will do it.

Since going back to school I have been divorced, performed in many a play, started a new career, moved four times,had a traumatic break-up, and I am now engaged and getting married again November 2nd. I have been living my life while going to school. It has been a journey that is not over yet. And I must remember when life seems hard and school seems never ending, that it is the journey and not just the destination that is important. That is your life. And right now I am so excited about mine.
