So, um, Hi. I’m a college graduate.

From Jul 30, 2009

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to feel different now that I’m done.   I haven’t received my diploma yet, but I know I will soon.  I suppose I’m pretty excited that I don’t have any more homework to do.  I mean, that’s freaking fantastic, but… it hasn’t sunk in at this point.

I’m done.  I’m done with my final final.  I’m absolutely getting an A in my History & Systems class, and I’ll likely get an A or a B in my Research Methods II class.  Cool.

I still have yet to decide if I’m going to walk.  The ceremony will be in December.  There’s a good possibility that I will, simply because it’s an excuse to have another party.   We’re throwing a party at the end of August, and it’ll be a pig roast.  A three day open house pig roast.  That’s pretty exciting.  And now I’ll have time to clean up the house before it starts.  Hee hee.

I’m unofficially undecided about my master’s program.  Ultimately, any way I look at it, I’m probably going to only need two years before that’s completed.  And we’ve seen just how quickly the last two years have flown by… I mean, this PerilouslyPreocious blog is almost two years old.  I think my birthday here is in August.  So, ultimately, whatever I decide to do, I’m almost there.  And it’s highly unlikely that I’m not going to do the masters… so.  I just don’t know yet.

I suppose in the next month I’ll discover what it’s like to begin to pay back my student loans.  I wonder if there’s a place where I can get a pay increase to cover that!  Ha!  I wonder if there’s a likelihood that I’ll get a raise at work.  Who knows, really?  Am I supposed to create announcements?  Should I call my grandparents??  *laughing*

So, here it is.  I’m not going to think about school for at least two months before I make any decisions.  I feel like I sort of have a break coming to me.  Of course, I’m equally excited about researching the various program options.  Really, the sky is the limit.  I’ve been considering what kinds of “fun” classes I can take in the mean time.  I think I want to find something online.  Or stick with that Naropa program I keep going back to.  Yeah, good luck in getting me to not think about school for two months.

One thing I REALLY want to accomplish in my break is that I want to write a book.  It’s time, now.

I guess I’ll go call folks.  I mean, that’s what I’m supposed to do, right?
