I'm doing 43 things
I’ve completed all my coursework!! I’m now just waiting for my degree to be audited and then I will be completely finished! I’m going to wait until I have the degree in my hand, though, before I consider this “done”.

How I did it
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: My fiance and I had purchased the Sims 3 for the iPod Touch and it made us want to play the Sims 3, as did all the stuff on the Sims 3 website. Last night when my fiance went to the store she picked up the Collectors Edition and now we're both having fun! Read how I did it…
It made me
excited and smart
How I did it: I worked my arse off. I always did assignments and tried to never miss class. I surprised myself with some of my classes, but none of my A's were handed to me. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel smart
How I did it: I took a Chauser class in college and the professor made us read "The Canterbury Tales" in its original form, Middle English. I was so worried that I was going to fail the class but I did really well! ^_^ Read how I did it…

I only have five more weeks left until graduation! I’m taking a crazy course-load, four classes, so I can complete the second concentration I added on last quarter, Youth Services. I have been steamrolling along, and I am so excited to see that light at the end of the tunnel.
Yet, every time I think of it being over, I begin to feel this panicky-feeling. I think it has to do with all the unknowns that come along after graduation. Having been in school for 20 consecutive years, it is frightening to think of the “What next?” and not have school in the picture. Also, not having a job and knowing student loans will be kicking in is a really scary perspective!
Over Memorial Day Weekend I visited New Hampshire. My fiancee is being relocated for work so we’re moving up there. Once I am up there, it will be easy to take a day trip to Vermont and Maine. Then I’ll have visited every state on the East Coast!! Woot woot!
