to venture away from the wedding for a bit
I was looking at my calendar today when I realized...I'm graduating in 8 months! 8 months! That's it!
I've already done my degree audit, and I know that only 27 credits stand between me and my degree. Well, I've got 21 of those 27 next semester, leaving me with only 6 remaining this summer. Those last 6 are an internship and an elective. I am looking forward to graduating, but at the same time, I am not. Yes, I'm going to grad school, so it's not like I won't still be a college student, but I'm leaving Western. A place I have been and grown to love for 3.5 years.
It's true that everyone has mixed feelings about graduation. My cap and gown is currently hanging in my parent's house. I've yet to order my ring, announcements, and my degree frame. I am honestly trying to put that off til at least March.
I guess maybe I'm a bit scared of having one less thing in my life, but truthfully, you've got to look at the big picture- what you're gaining, not what you're losing. I'm losing a place that has become my second home, but I'm gaining a degree, a new life and new experience, I'll be a bit closer to home (I miss my family! Especially Mom and Dad.), and I'll eventually be getting a Master's degree....
oh yeah...and exactly 7 days after my graduation, Jason and I will only have 11 months til our wedding. Less than a year. I bet time will fly once we've hit that mark.
Alright, enough rambling. Time to do that homework. *grumbles*
