almost really done this time. @ 5:56 PM

This time last year I was barely finishing up my last few classes and submitting papers in order to walk across the stage to receive my diploma, kind of. I was actually studying for some finals and writing papers that I regretfully handed in. I was sick last year. Really sick. I ended up walking for graduation and then postponing my actual graduation a year by adding a minor on and deferring a class until this semester. All semester I kept asking myself why I did this to myself, but I couldn't change it so I just embraced it. Now, its almost over. I took a final this morning and I had plans to take my last final this evening, but somehow found myself a bit too burnt out for two finals in one day (maybe I should've used my spring break a little better--nah!) I'm excited to be finished for real this time, but also terrified because it means being a real teacher and then taking the GRE for grad school and attending grad school and writing a thesis. Yuck.

I'm glad I've been able to challenge myself for another year. I'm incredibly grateful that I was able to add a minor onto my degree, in just a year, and I'm very blessed to have the opportunities ahead of me that may or may not be terrifying to embrace right now. I have an extremely wonderful life and I think that I sometimes forget that, like when I'm studying for my last final. Thanks for the memories, BYU!
