Whew!

Hi there! I am finished with school! I passed all my tests and finished with flying colors (despite my fears since one professor told us NOT to study for her final and so I didn't study like I usually do and was freaking out because it was the HARDEST final ever!! Not nice of her!). I walked last Saturday and was reminded how boring graduations are. But I was glad I did it because it feels like I got some Graduate school closure.

I love being done with school and not working yet. It's the best feeling in the world! It feels like I have a summer break again. That's one thing I first started missing when I started my undergraduate schooling. I felt like my summers were stolen from me. If I wasn't taking summer classes, I was working. Full time. Which was a crappy situation, because I had to stop my tradition of watching Wonder Years re-runs. And that's just sad. But I feel like the public school system has set us up for disappointment in the "real world". We never get 3 months off... once we get jobs, our lives are over!! But for now I'm enjoying my time off, and my pseudo summer break. I've been passing my time by painting my apartment and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! I've been looking at this one junk cupboard for about 3 years now, always saying to myself, I have to do something about that. And today I DID!! And I took before and after pictures to show you.


Wow! I am still so amazed at how great it looks! And what was all that crap crammed in there before?? Sheesh!!

So, I have my long awaited sprint triathlon this Sunday. All I ask it that you all pray that I don't drown. :) But we get tee shirts, AND they said there will be a celebrity appearance! Who could it be?!? And I get to go to San Diego for the first time EVER and I asked some close friends to come with me for support, so it should be a fun time!
