Graduation Getting Me Down

So, I've been working really hard on getting my final things done for school.  I've been working really hard on my thesis, which has drained the soul out of me.  It's 20 pages plus whatever works cited page that I have, and I've been working on it almost non stop for the past month or so.  I've been working on it in stages, and now I've been working on revisions and polishing the work, and soon I will be turning it in, all shiny and ready for my defense.

Last night, I was reflecting on all the things I was going miss about school.  I know I'll miss the campus.  My college has a beautiful campus.  It has a lot of green space, quite a few trees, and in spring, everything comes alive with blooms and flowers.  It's just lovely.  In the fall, the leaves change colors, and it's like walking through an autumn pallet.

I'll also miss the little things.  Coffee in the coffee shop on campus.  The smell of printer toner when I print out my papers in the library.  The smell of old books in the back of the library.  The kindness of my professors.  I'll miss all of it.  I am so grateful that I had it to begin with. 

Hopefully, I'll have less stress soon-ish, and be able to update things more often.  Wish me luck that I don't finally lose my mind around finals.

  1. First off, its been a pleasure getting to k ow you in class. Second, I totally understand that its your senior year and you are full of stress and emotions more than likely. I just wanted to let you know that it is all going to be fine and before you know it, it will be over. Mount Mercy has a very beautiful campus and that is what I am going to miss also when my graduating year comes.
