Looking forward, I can honestly say that I am ready to leave this part of my life behind me. I started realizing early this week that if I didn't start investing a little more time into my masters portfolio then I wasn't going to be in a position to emotionally move past graduate school. I want to carry the benefits of grad school with me as I pursue my career but it's important for me to leave the obligation of my masters program behind. I have been a little bit tearful lately for many reasons, but one of them is the pure shock of actually approaching the end to such a significant part of my life thus far. I will never be able to fully articulate the endurance it has taken to get here, or the provision of the Lord for timing all things according to His will. Even as I type this I am overwhelmed with the knowledge that I am 2 assignments away from being done with all of the coursework in my program. I would have loved to be done with everything in May, but I can't change the way my courses fell into place and I have to believe that God's timing is better than mine.
As for the other things on my to-do list. . . well, let's just say that other than moving, I haven't done a super awesome job of sticking to the list. I read a couple of books for pleasure at the beginning of summer but I've been carrying around textbooks ever since. I started out sleeping great but lately (probably because of all of the loud & long storms) I haven't been sleeping well at all. The rest, I'll have to save for another post!
