Tomorrow is my last day of school, ever (well I guess I shouldn't say ever). My college career ends TOMORROW and could't be happier for this chapter of my life to be over. I think the only thing I will miss is...hmmmm I will have to think about that one. Graduation in June was a little tease knowing I had 16 credits of summer term ahead of me, BUT now it's over and I can finally say I am a college graduate. It hasn't hit me yet that I am not returning for the fall term, it hasn't hit me yet that I am in desperate need of a job, AND it hasn't hit me yet that I am free from the horrible nerves before an exam, the stress before a presentation or the anxiety of grades! I keep telling myself on my 1 mile walk to class that this is LAST time I will have to do this walk or this is last time listening to a lecture or this is the my last group project, I mean the list goes on and on. I feel scared to call myself something other then a student, what do I call myself now...unemployed? At least I have my cosmetologist license, so I can keep doing hair during this awkward transition of my life. Some people say that it's awkward until your 30s or until you have you a career rather then chasing one like in your 20s.
Now I can REALLY jump for joy because IT is OVER.
Bu Bye University of Oregon, nice knowin ya!
What I need to remember:
AND
Just pray that you dont get post-graduate college nightmares. I get dreams every now and then that I've forgotten about a class the whole semester or haven't done any assignments and now it's finals. Wyatt used to make fun of me for having them until he graduated. Now he gets them, too. :) My dad even gets them, thirty years later!
