I dunno if anyone is folowing along, but I'm about two and a half hours away from finishing and turning in my last final and finishing another term here at regent. If you wanna cheer me on, here is your chance!

uhh….

cheering?

Update after the Jump


Well I'm happy, very happy to say it's all done. With the fight song music in my head I handed in my final paper at 4:01pm today, a full 29 minutes before it was due. I walked around and talked to people and then broke my coffee mug and then tossed my broken coffee mug into the air over and over while simultaneously shouting, "hoooorayyy, hooorayyy" in a homesar-esque intonation.

For some reason this "done" feels better than other "dones" It may have something to do with that fact that I liked my classes. Maybe it was because it's actually sunny in april. Either way, I'm in a state of peace right now that will happily extend at least until july when I take summer school. Either way, It feels good. Now I have only have to worry about the "light" tasks of full time work, some part-time computer consulting, and a hodge-podge of various church stuff. Trust me, when you take 11 units of grad school out of the equation, anything sounds mellow. You could ask me to babysit your pet pit-bull and I'd think it was breakfast.

Interestly, I didn't stop blogging this time. I'm not sure why, but the stress seems to be a little less now. Maybe I'm acclimating or somehow turning this work/school/church/blog thing into more of a wholistic endeavor. Or maybe it's just that they had a mock doogie howser scened on how I met your mother and that gave me more peaceful energy. Maybe it's because I wisely stayed away from American Idol this year, or maybe it's just cause God like me.

You decide. I'm just happy. My chores are done, and now I want to go outside and play.

I also learned a lot of stuff this year. Maybe I'll share some of that here. If I don't forget it all. I even learned something today.

oh one more thing, that guitar. Re-listed. Yup. How dumb is that? And I don't even want it anymore.

what i find so interesting is that, while extremely busy with work and school, you still have time to update all of your readers with your brain thoughts. glad you’re done.

That’s basically the point of twitter eh? You can update from your browser address bar, your iphone, your cell phone, google talk. They want it to be accessible. So when I’m sitting here typing the paper I think of something, switch over to mozilla, type it, and it’s done.

I’m so glad to see you finish the semester too! It’s not like I saw a whole lot less of you upstairs during the semester. You were a frequenter of upstairs, and if not to toot our own horn too loudly, I think the other ladies and I maaaaay have played a part in your happiness this year. Come on, think of it: 1. frequent baked goods 2. great late night conversations 3. blog fodder 4. we stopped with the McGyver

Fun city rules.
