This was handed out to us by the assistant dean the other week, and I barely peeked into it this morning. And yessss, I took a picture of it because I needed a reminder that I’m actually a candidate for a master’s degree! Something that I would never have dreamed of being capable of. ever. Me? I’m just an average girl trying every single day to push that boundary. But… I’ve been so busy… drowning in school work because deadlines were moved up and extra responsibilities were dropped on me. If you know me, you’d know that I plan on planning my day and that I think about thinking too much. Like Apolo Ohno said in one of his interviews however, there’s really nothing to it, but to do it! And with that, I just gotta keep moving forward and stay true to my commitments. If I survive the next month, maybe I’ll actually be able to turn this in by the April 2 deadline! Grad school was a lot of sacrifice, but definitely an experience that I would never regret. And according to one of our professors yesterdays, we are 82% complete with our journey. And that… only makes the light at the end of that tunnel that much sweeter.
