Drum roll please..................................................................................................................................
This Friday, I am graduating with my master's degree in Intercultural Studies. As of 7:00 PM this Friday, I am done--Done with research papers, done with finals, done with heavy reading. I'm just plain done. At least, for now.
Please join me in celebrating this momentous occasion by gathering up all of the pencils in your house and ceremoniously throwing them out your front door. Just kidding. Perhaps have a cupcake instead. That's what I plan on doing. Saturday afternoon, I'm gathering with family at one of my favorite restaurants. We are going to have lunch and cupcakes. I am hoping for either a tiramisu cupcake or maybe a chocolate peppermint one to pay homage to the season. Either way, I'll be taking a jog Saturday morning to account for my celebrating (and to blow off steam from my finals, which are actually the Monday after I graduate.)
Now, I would be remiss if I didn't give a few heartfelt shout-outs:
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to my gorgeous Hubs. He selflessly gave up a lot of fun nights out with friends. He ate copious amounts of cereal while I was in night classes. And, he fearlessly put up with all of my anxiety and frustration over the last four years. I love you so much and this is as much yours as it is mine. Thank you for helping me accomplish my dreams.
Thank you to my dear family. You read through a lot of my papers, listened to my rants, and gave me the encouragement I needed to keep going when things got overwhelming. Thank you for always answering the phone when I needed you. I hold you all in my heart.
Thank you to my friends. You walked alongside me- literally, listening to my crazy venting. You bounced around research ideas with me and then you calmed me down after I bombed my research presentation. You kept me on time for my classes. You made me laugh when I wanted to pull my hair out. You are all amazing.
Thank you to my incredible coworkers. I really could not have done this without your support. Thank you for letting me run out of the office for classes, for listening to my verbal processing, and for praying for me diligently. We truly work in an environment of iron sharpening iron and I thank God for you.
And thank you to my blog family. The {Lazy} Peacock has truly served as an outlet for me over the past couple of years--A way to escape the stress of school and write about anything and everything that makes me happy. I look forward to being able to dedicate more time to sharing with you in the future.
