In just over a week, I will be done with Winter term. Shortly thereafter I will turn in my paperwork to graduate and start my final term of grad school. Sometime between June and September I will get a master’s degree (depending on when I am able to finish my internship hours).
I started on the path to this degree over four years ago. It is very odd to be able to see the end of it. Things are very much different than I imagined they would be when I started this road.
I still believe on the whole that I am happier. I know that I have learned a lot, not just about planning, but about myself as well. I’m sure that in the next months I will occasionally be amazed that I am approaching the end of this program, because it’s been such a focus for so long, and because last year school was the thing that could consistently remind me that I could function, was capable, could survive. And now I am nearly done. I’ve nearly done it. Wow.
