Done, done, and done

Yesterday I took my very last final. I am completely finished with my degree in business management with an emphasis in marketing. It has been a very difficult 4 years, and the many late nights, the tremendous amount of stress, the worry of meeting a deadline, the early mornings, the boring class periods, the testing center, and all that jazz is no more part of my life. Really, I'm finished, it's so surreal. I think it'll take a few weeks to really settle in. Ry and I have been doing year round for almost 2 years straight, and in those 2 years I have had 4 weeks of the two Christmas breaks to rest from school. It's such a strange feeling knowing that I'm not going back. I have been looking forward to this day for so long, and all that hard work couldn't be more worth it.

The biggest thing that I learned, wasn't cost-benefit analysis, it wasn't differentiating a forward, future, an option or a swap, and it wasn't Porter's 5 forces....but it was that no matter how discouraged or overwhelmed I may be, I can do it. I learned that all I can do is my best, and my best will be good enough. I learned never to give up, to keep giving it your all, and never stop just because you think it will be too hard or will be too much work. I learned to find the best in others, and to let them do what they're best at, and learn from what they can do. Lastly, I learned how lucky and blessed I am to have a wonderful husband who will stay by me no matter what, and I have other family members and friends that love me for who I am.

Class of 2009 BABY!!!
