The End is Near

It's official: I defend my thesis one week from tomorrow at 1:00 pm. I'll then have to make final revisions, get it printed, pay for the binding, and get it over to the graduate school office by Monday afternoon. After that, I'M FREAKING DONE. This week is going to be hell, by I couldn't care less. I'm going to get to walk at graduation AND I won't have this hanging over my head during the Seattle trip in May. After May 4, all I have to worry about is giving a final exam to my General Psychology class and finishing up a profile for my Personality Assessment class... very small tasks in comparison to collecting data for and writing a thesis in about 3 weeks worth of time. I can't wait to be done with Arkansas Tech University.

I think the night after my defense, I'm going to have a few (and by a few, I mean QUITE a few) drinks, smoke me a couple of cloves, and listen to some really loud music. Then, I'll just chill and wait for graduation to get here. After May 16, all I have to worry about is packing for the move, spending time with friends and family, and having a really great time enjoying this experience and process of moving. Words can't express how excited I am that in two months, I'll be a resident of Seattle, WA. I feel like I'm finally getting to do what I want to do with my life after 7 years of compromises and doing the responsible things I'm supposed to do, I'm actually getting to reap the rewards. I know it's going to be a challenge, but it's one I take on happily.

28 days until the house hunting trip to Seattle... 64 days until the move.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, back to writing a thesis. I have a ton of data that needs my attention.

Peace.
