I can’t believe I’m in my last couple of weeks of classes. It seemed like I had all the time in the world in January and felt stressed about all the things I had to accomplish in three and a half months. Now my grad photo haircut is booked (along with an eyebrow waxing-let’s face it, it’s been a loooooong pandemic).
If you’ve followed my journey for some time, you can imagine that I spent a lot of time fantasizing how my final year would play out where I could just finally be a full-time student. I worked all through this time, because debt sucks and school isn’t cheap. I worked through my first educational go-round as well, because debt sucks and school isn’t cheap. I’m even feeling the financial hit just by taking Wednesdays off. Anyway, while the fantasies that nurtured my reality and perseverance didn’t come true, a lot of other things did, and now that I can officially stick those letters-BFA-behind my name, I see a world of doors opening for me. There’s eight months of life to catch up on and Christmas craft sales to prepare for, among other things. As the door closes on my journey, a new one begins!
This past weekend I made a point of not doing as much in previous weekends. Hubs came down with a sore throat (RAT negative) and I knew I’d have to take it easy to avoid crashing and burning right at the end of the semester. Somehow I’ve just had mild sniffles, but I bet my body’s just waiting for the end for a full-blown cold to happen.
I have studio time this week while Tuesday is my last FIBRE 419 class, with the final written assignment due on Friday. Thank goodness for the extension--I would not have been able to complete it otherwise.
