A sigh of relief.

Ahhhh. My classes are over. The last paper has been turned in. My grueling annual self-evaluation for work is complete. All that remains is to check a few hundred residents out of the buildings, and summer will have officially begun! It's about time. Of course, even though the pace might be slower over the next few months, my world will still be pretty busy. Two courses left (plus program approval and that pesky capstone paper) before graduation. I'm working part-time this summer, and Mama Peacegrrl is planning a visit (a source of both joy and stress). But the weather will be warm, there won't be any students around, and there might actually be time to do the stuff I enjoy and never seem to get around to lately. Perhaps there will even be a new boy to occupy me. Ha! I AM being optimistic!

I'm jazzed today because I get to leave the office at five, I'm spending time with some good friends tonight, and I've got two new knitting books. AND I get to sleep in tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, it will be the 5-year anniversary of my college graduation. 5 years!!! Holy crap. It feels like only yesterday I was clutching my hard-earned English degree and wondering what the hell I was going to do with it. I've learned so much about who I am in the past half-decade, and I can only imagine what I'm going to learn over the next. I'm hoping it's mostly good stuff.
