There Is a Light

It is faint, but I can see it. Exactly one week from today, I will be through with this Master's program! Of course, that is dependent on me getting A LOT of work done this weekend, so I really shouldn't be counting those chickens just yet. But it amazes me that one year ago, I was just starting down this long and exhausting road. Last year at this time we had a class with some people who were finishing, and it seemed so far away for us. They were telling us how lucky we were to be taking certain classes first and getting them out of the way. This month, our English class has some people who are just starting down this same road. Another person from my cohort and I were telling them the same thing we were being told last year. Talk about your deja vu.

It's been non-stop since last June. It's gone by really quickly and really slowly, if that makes any sense. Always some assignment hanging over my head. A million other things going on at the same time. So many things to think about. So many things to do. I'm not sure I'm going to know what to do next school year when I don't have my own homework assignments to complete. Starting next month, I'll be able to read books of my own choosing again. I won't even know where to start.

Next up: Specialist's degree. Someday.
