An Ending

Aug 19, 2011 15:55

Today in the mail I got back the grant I wrote and I got an A- on it. I should have an A in that class easily and graduate. Its all feeling a little more real but I really won't believe it until I have the diploma. I feel like I'm finally about to have some time off as this Wednesday was my last late shift of the summer semester and with my grade back, I can stop worrying about that.

On the 25th, I'm flying to California for five days with my family and one of my brother's wedding and I keep realizing just how much I need that. I have a list of jobs to apply for which I know I can do but lately I keep sleeping and really recovering. Though one of the great parts about having time is I'm cooking more. Last night I made roast chicken with a delicious yogurt sauce and homemade sweet potato fries.

Luckily before I leave I don't have too many errands to do, once I have the shredder and a stronger box for my papers, I'll do a good clean up of my place. I have some presents to mail for moofoot and sardonicynic, which is a fun project. I think I'm just going to keep taking things slowly and get used to the idea that I may have actually finished getting a masters. When I left Wellington a few years ago, I honestly didn't think this was possible for me and now I have a plan for a job I have passion for.

Today I'm going to try and do some writing, I had plans for some OOMs and a prompt meme but a really bad day of not sleeping threw them off. Things will get done but today is going to have some definite celebration.

making a home, sleep will happen, masters, jobs, family, new zealand, cooking, writing, finding my way
