What a difference 24 hours can make. Yesterday, I delivered the last paper and presentation of the semester. What a relief.
Even though I am so motivated and focused to finish my masters program, it just feels great to go off to work this morning knowing that there won’t be any academic obligations weighing me down (until summer session starts up in July). In fact, I think that at the end of the day, I might just come home, cook dinner for my family (a first in months) and maybe hang out and watch Glee! (is it on tonight?)
So today, I can go to work (what a FABULOUS thing to be able to say), and know that when I come home, I can just come home. When I leave at 5 or 5:30, I won’t be rushing off to a paper, or 6 chapters of mind numbing theory reading, or messing with power point to get the music perfectly synched with my slides, or wondering if I had researched deeply enough, or, or, or.
Of course there are always other worries to put on my list, - like, will my job be re-funded in July, am I up for the challenge, can I handle an office with no window, etc. etc. and so on…..but today – I am just going to focus on one thing. My new sparkly shiny job!
