Starin' out into the wild blue yonder...

So many thoughts to sit and ponder.

Well, I did it. I finally graduated from Duke University with my Master's degree. Holy Crap! And to top things off: I made a decison on jobs. I know, huge right?

Now for the first time ever, I will only have work to focus on. Well, I have my certification exam to focus on for now, but after that is said and done, then I will have nothing, but work to focus on. Weird. I have never known what it is like to just work. I have always had school and/or multiple jobs at once. So, I have finally moved into the adult world.

Wow, I'm an adult. When did that happen and how do I make it stop?! It feels odd, yet exciting to be stepping out into this unchartered territory of the Monday through Friday working world. I've been here before, but again I had other jobs and school, so it wasn't the same. Now when I walk out of the office on Friday afternoon/evening, I'll be looking towards two days of errands, cleaning, playtime, and of course, hanging out with my friends...the people who have helped me survive and maintain sanity (relatively speaking) throughout the last 2.5 years of the grad school gauntlet.

Right, so it is going to be interesting seeing how I transform into this new role of normalcy.
