I went to school last night and presented my senior project to my professor and my class. Also present was my least liked teacher and my favorite teacher that I had at St Mary's. My presentation went over well. I was fast, just as the professor wanted. Everyone else took a lot of time....and he was right, it did get boring after a while.
After everyone was done, I got my things and then turned to Denise and hugged her. I hugged all the ladies and shook the guys hands. Inside it felt like I should be saying goodbye to these folks but at the same time, it didn't seem like this was it. On my way to the car, Magi commented that she couldn't believe we were done. It didn't seem real. I completely agreed. We all visited in the parking lot for a few more minutes and our academic counselor had come back from her meeting. She gave hugs and words of encouragement to everyone.
On my drive home it hit me! I was excited, envigorated. The feelings were undescribable. I couldn't believe that I had been in school for 20 months, 82 weeks. It seemed like forever, sometimes it felt like forever. I knew the end would come sometime.
It's here. Right now it doesn't seem real again. I'm sure that will continue.
More later.....
