It's Been a Long Time Comin'

Well six years ago, I set off for my first semester of college, excited and a little nervous. I planned on finishing in four years and moving on with my life. Now, six years later, here I am counting down the days until I graduate with a masters degree. I feel like I have been in school for quite some time and am a little nervous to find out what life will be like without all the classes, homework, professors, and classmates. On the other hand, I cannot wait to come home for the night without thinking of all the homework I should probably be doing. Instead of having two jobs, an internship, and classes that I have to keep straight, I am ready to focus on ONE job. Don't get me wrong, I know a job will be a lot of work, but I am anxious to upgrade my status from a full-time student to a full-time employee. As of today, I have 46 days and 19 hours to go until I am done! For good! I cannot belive I have almost made it. Graduating and working full time seems a little intimidating right now, but with this advice by Dr. Seuss, I am sure to find my way...

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.

Dr. Seuss
