Yay! Graduation! Now on to the real world...but not just yet.
Being able to graduate has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders, and at the same time burdened them with another. I know this is just another rehash of what others before have surely said themselves. That now that they were done with schooling, they were even more apprehensive about what was to come. And I am. I enjoyed what I was learning and would love to use it to obtain a career in my respective field, but there are still so many other things I enjoy and would like to learn and work with. Perhaps after a few months of rest I can thing about going back to school and furthering my education in one form or another so that I can feel more complete, or perhaps even accomplished. But the stain of 18 years of schooling has finally caught up to me and the only thing that could possibly satiate it is several months of rest, both for the body and for the mind. Not that learning will be ignored or projects thrown aside in the place of said rest. Learning is a continuing process that needs no institution of higher learning to accomplish. No, it is the higher education type of learning that I need a rest from, and more learning from the school of all encompassing power: Life.
