It was such a let down because I'd wanted it for so long (I started college in 1986 and graduated in 2001). Doing the part time college thing while working stretches it out. Walking away from it and having nothing change just seems unreal.<BR/><BR/>Hope it got better! It's a source of quiet pride for me - but it might take some time to get there.Jhiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961562933937294762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-1166569620256595322006-12-19T18:07:00.000-05:002006-12-19T18:07:00.000-05:00Congrats!

You've adapted to the grind. Your shoulders have become stooped to the burden. Straightening up instantly just doesn't happen. <BR/><BR/>I know it feels like you're carrying around the same damn burden, but eventually you'll put it down. Eventually the exhaustion will give way to a shy pride in yourself, just for a moment. I promise you. It's a lot easier to acknowledge the size of your own achievements when you've gotten a little ways away from them and you look back and go "Whoa, THAT was a big mountain I climbed."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-1166467209283956622006-12-18T13:40:00.000-05:002006-12-18T13:40:00.000-05:00Congratulations!!Congratulations!!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695662344180959776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-1166426224530586972006-12-18T02:17:00.000-05:002006-12-18T02:17:00.000-05:00As with any huge life event, I think it takes awhi...As with any huge life event, I think it takes awhile for graduating to really sink in...you've been so stressed and so busy for so long, I think it just takes the brain a bit to catch up to current events ;)<BR/><BR/>CONGRATULATIONS, sweetie!
