Spending a lazy night - Lindagerr - 06-14-2010
This is the first night in a long time when I can sit here all night just surfing the web, daydreaming and yakking on the IC forum. I have a whole 6 weeks before my next exam(s) either 1 or 2 PRAXIS depending on how I did on Saturday.
I have been working full steam since last October when I started my last class and now. Including that class I have earned 35 credits and finished my BA. During that time I have had so much else going on I can't believe I really did it.
My main point is the good feelings and sense of relaxation that comes with setting a goal, making a plan and plowing through no matter what is just amazing.
So for my 900th posthilarious I want to say Thank you to all of you brave souls who are out there risking your lives for our American way of life. Only in America :patriot: could a lowly middle child (a daughter no less) of 2 high school drop outs have a dream for soooo many years and never have to give it up. I knew that if I was willing to do my part someday I could be the first one in many generations to say I have my degree.
Ok I am feeling really happy tonight
It is the realization setting in. I AM DONE I do not have to take one more test write one more paper get one more grade. I have my BA. If and when I take any more exams or classes it is just icing on the cake.I say again to anyone feeling overwhelmed or burnt out [SIZE="7"]DO NOT GIVE UP [/SIZE] you will not believe how good it feels when it is over.
EDIT: OK I think it is time for me to go to bed
Thank you all for sharing my night of relaxation and happiness, I can't think of anyone I would rather share it with then my IC family.

Linda, congrats again on your great success. It just goes to show anyone that if they have the desire that anything is possible. You went out and did it. You accomplished your life long dream and you worked hard for that dream. You have been very inspirational to many of us on the boards. Have fun with your down time. It really must be an adjustment for you after going 100 miles an hour for months on end.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but congratulations, my dear son, on 1000 posts! Now, I guess I had better try to play catch-up. Oh, and 'Hi, Allison'. Hope you are enjoying your summer!
