Relief
I turned in a completed draft of my Thesis today to my instructer...Damn it felt good. I still will be waiting for any corrections he has, but it still feels good to have that 20 page monster out of my hands.
Yesterday at work, I was able to actually counsel someone, and it made me feel amazing! A client was extremely distraught, and I was able to sit them down, and get them calm again. They were planning on walking out of the facility, but I talked them into giving it a couple days to see how they really like it. It was the most amazing 20 minutes EVER! I couldn't stop smiling. I have always been really intimidated by the idea of counseling someone, but it just came so easily.
I'm moving to Mike's family's lake house this week, and I'm pretty excited about it. Although I'm going to be moving away from my cousin and her husband, who have become like best friends to me. I'm going to be living 25 minutes away from any friends, and I'm going to be living by myself. (We'll see how well that goes) If clowns don't show up I might be ok. Luckily, mike will be coming down to spend monday and tuesday with me next week and then Danielle and Cheryl are coming to see me, which is so exciting.
I can't believe I'm graduating! I bought my cap and gown today, which was pretty amazing. I'm cleared to graduate from the University Honor's program, and my minor has been ok'd. That thesis was the only thing really keeping me worried. I thought I would NEVER finish it. Friday, i sat down at my computer to finish it.....and it was gone! One hundred percent gone from my computer. The 15 pages I had been working on for 7 months were gone. I have no idea how it happened, but it did. A mental breakdown insued, but after a couple hours, Mike and my mom told me they would retype my thesis for me from a printed off draft I had from May while I worked on the last 5 pages. So, I got it done in time to turn it in today, and I really hope he likes the draft enough that I don't have to add any more length. *Crosses Fingers* We'll see.
Tonight is Taco night at the Farrells, so I must get going. Monday nights are the best!!
