it's over,Lord have mercy, it's done!

Well, I want you to know that I've been silent on my bloggy blog for two reasons:
#1. Since around 4:00 pm on Wednesday I have been in the Speech and Hearing Science building. I took an exam from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, graded exams from 9:00 pm until midnight and then worked on a paper from midnight until 4:00 pm Thursday. Right here, in this computer lab, in a building that reminds of Three's Company, surrounded by broken junk computers and old speechy equipment. I even got a little feverish. But now I have officially written a 25+ pg paper in less than 15 hours. Can't say pages 10 -25 were any good, and I know for a fact that my three pages were a sorry excuse of an "essay" but oh dear Lord! It's over...
#2. From 4:00 until now I've been studying for an exam that I finished an hour ago and have been wrapping up the paper trails of being a TA. And once again, oh dear Lord! It's over...

I just said goodbye to my buddy Michelle who is graduating and out of here. Well, I am OUT of this here building. I refuse to come back!! .....for a week anyway
Oh my gosh! I survived my first year of grad school, well, sorta, does summer count as part of the first year?? Naw.

Well, I'll be SEEING you all very soon :)
I'm finished!

I love that feeling that you get when you finish a semester. I'm tres jealous, because I don't get to have that feeling until Tuesday afternoon. See you in about a week and a half.

I think Husayn summed it up beautifully and all I can add is to say "Wow!", that is some SERIOUS dedication you have ma'am! Mucho congratulations on being able to scratch that one year mark onto your belt!
