Fin

When I was a child I always wondered what "Fin" meant when a cartoon, or a TV show ended. I always thought it was an anti-climactic way of ending things. I would have preferred "goodbye," although I'm not very good at ending things either.

I received my last evaluations for the last paper I'll ever write to receive my Bachelor's degree. One month ahead of schedule of course, and somehow things feel a little bit undercooked. I almost want to submit another essay because I'm not quite done with everything, and I think I would have felt more "done" so to speak of my graduation ceremony didn't happen before I sent my paper into the matrix.

After August I will be fully matriculated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I can't believe how easy it was to accomplish this lifelong goal. More so, I can't believe it took me this long to get this out of the way. Before graduating, I had every intent to get into a post-grad program by September, but now, with the summer moving into closure, the last thing I want to do is go back to school.

I cancelled my enrollment at the UW for a web development program. Not to say I've changed my mind, but the timing doesn't feel right. Work is becoming an Olympic event, and I just put in for an application for a staff writer position at our corporate office. I just moved in to a new place, and a birthday is coming up.

Too many changes in one plane, and frankly, all I want to do is eat a croissant au chocolat and catch my breath.
