i by the tide

i just turned in my last essay assignment of my graduate career!* the idea that i am done with school, done done, i will walk on sunday done hasn't hit me yet. possibly it is because i have to give a final to my class on friday. but that's only a small part.

i will miss the feeling of being educated. i'll miss knowing where i'm going, the best times to go where, and having a space that simultaneously challenges and validates my intellect and love of learning. i'll miss the rigor and the sunlight creeping into the stacks of the library.

but mostly, i appreciate being given this opportunity and that i've challenged myself to be a better me and really find out what that means.




*until i go back and get a phd. 3-8 years tops
