Gauntlet
Only a handful of weeks before I end one chapter of my life and start a new one. There's a lot of work piling up as well as a lot of eager expectations for when it's all done.
Even as I am hopelessly attempting to do another last-minute, late-night research paper, I feel a twinge of remorse for leaving something I've known for so long behind.
I can't even begin to describe this journey I've been on for the past *sigh* 6 years... But I'm more than relieved to say that in the end, it was all worth it. I had my fair share of doubts and hardship along the way and for a time, I was ready to throw in the towel... but I'm really glad I held on and continued to work hard! I really feel I've come into my own and found my place! I've gained so much support and friendship from fellow classmates and friends at Long Beach that it will be quite a crushing blow when I have to leave so abruptly.
I mean, I'll only be gone for 6 months, but still... I'll be going from big fish, little pond to little fish, big pond (hee hee, fish analogy...). Hopefully the transition this time will be a lot smoother than the first! I have a lot more confidence and a world of ambition for making my dream career come true! Finally!
I'm so overwhelmed with emotion that I don't know what to feel. If anything, I really want to give my appreciation for everyone who was there along the way. Whether those people are still in my life or were only passing by, I still can't express enough thanks for the unique ways each has impacted who I am and how I've grown.
I feel very much like a different person, apart from who I was 6 years ago. I never thought I could make it this far and be happy, but thank God, I am. Thank God, I did it.
Let's go! It's time to run this gauntlet (or at present, write it lol)! I'm ready to finish this last semester of my undergrad with a bang! Woo! Huzzah!
