Just had my last class today. last class of my degree. WAHOOOOOO! now there's just one week of portfolios and an exam until it's completely over.

it is both exciting, and sad. the end of an era one might say... and the beginning of "life". what the heck does that mean anyway? I mean. haven't we been living this whole time? making connections, having relationships, working, paying bills, having dreams. Yes we've been sort working towards a 'career' (or at least some have...) but people always seem so eager to enter the "real" world... I'm in no rush to "start my career" whatever that may be. I figure, first of all, I want to just relax for a minute. take a breath or two that doesn't have homework looming over top of it, then i'd like to do a bit of travelling, see a bit more of the world... then maybe I'll be ready to "Settle down" or whatever (although I think i'm a fairly settled person already, I've never been what you might call "flighty", being the taurus that I am...) I apologize for all the words in "quotes"... must be my mood. I just want to make it through next week. go home for a little, hang with the family, and then we'll see... then the moon...
