I can’t believe this time has come!!

So as I put off writing an extremely boring paper on the setting of an American movie musical- btw, why did I take that class you might ask, well: 1. i needed an upper division english class credit 2. It sounds kinda cool and not too hard 3. It was what fit into my schedule. yeah but it’s not that cool, and I dont’ really want to analyze a musical, i just wanna watch it and enjoy it ok, why does it have to be so serious- it’s a musical for goodness sake.  Ok so back to my point, this past year or so has been so long and I have had the feeling that I would never be done with college and all this work and I feel like I’ve gotten nowhere, when will my hard work ever pay off? or maybe I’m doomed to be stuck writing ridiculous papers on musicals for years to come…. ok well i know that won’t really happen but it sure seems that way sometimes.  These past 3 1/2years have sure been quite a learning experience for me…has it been that long I ask- OH MY, yes it has been.  I feel like it’s been forever but oddly freshman year doesn’t seem so long ago- why is that, after all the classes, hrs of studying and hrs of pretending to study-ha!, jumping through this hoop and that hoop, that I have put in enough time and I am actually old enough to be called a college graduate (well soon to be) but it doesn’t seem like i have put in enough time and work to be here, it seems so soon- yes I said it- Today I turned in my graduation application.  I’ll still have to take classes in the summer to post degree and they have to approve my application but it should go through, and they better approve or else!  And I then I am going to do a 3-yr Master’s of Nursing program following graduation.  So, oh well if I am not technically done done with school, I’ll have a degree by next year and I am walking in my College Graduation ceremony in May- it is a BEAUTIFUL thing.  In the midst of all the stressfulness that this month has already been for me and more that is to come, I took a moment today and felt relieved, I can do this- if I can get through 3 years of school,  I can certainly get through less than 6 mo. more of school.  Thank the Lord He gives us the strength and determination that we need each and every day, I can say that without it, I would most certainly not be where I am today. YAY!
