Grad school is almost over.

“midterm” tomorrow. Really more of a half semester final. Then I’m done with my grad school requirements. At least the pressing ones. I do need to turn in my agenda setting memo, from the beginning of the semester. Heh. Whoops. And put in a little more work revising the capstone document. Actually explaining my methodology instead of leaving it a bunch of pretty pictures with tables. Yeah, but I mean, really, it’s all over tomorrow. No more classes. I’m not sure who I am anymore. I gave up so much in the pursuit of this degree, and it’s now in sight, and I’m not feeling the warm and happy vibes. Graduation isn’t going to do it. I think spending time with friends and family will help.

I think that’s the thing I’ve missed most here. The social angle. Coming to MN early in the summer was probably a bad move for that. If I’d come at the same time as everyone else, I think I would have bonded with them more. *shrug* Oh well, no do-overs on life. =)

But I should take the time and effort to do the real happiness making things for me, rather than the easily obtained pleasures. Real happiness making: extended chat time with friends, preferably more than one at the same time (any wonder why I like LJ?); reading good books, but new ones. Stuff like that. Not that I’m giving up on video games or anything, just keeping them more in their place. =)

  1. It will take time…

    I remember it took me a year or so to actually realize my masters program was over. I was a little numb for quite some time.

    You are correct – family and friends will help. So will personal reflection… They are my saving grace.

    If I can help at all, I’ve been there and would be happy to process it with ya.
