It's OVER!

Yesterday was the last day of class! No more school!

*

Well, until June 25th, I'm taking a Summer Semester. So is Matt, but he has yet to register for his classes. (Another irony of our marriage, I've been registered for summer since March and Matt hasn't even looked yet.)

*

This summer semester will basically be my last semester for my Bachelor's Degree. I have ONE class I have to take this Fall... I just read that and I still find it ridiculous that my schedule ended up that way! Because of a few budget cuts (I'm sure you've heard... Recession, budget cuts, government spending, tax cuts, etc. Ring any bells?) not all the classes I needed were offered this summer.

*

But that's ok. I took it as a sign that Bean and I needed to hang out at the pool all summer long. I'm totally F-I-N-E with that!

*

As for my plans... I plan to become a professional student for now. I think about graduating and it makes me cry! I love my major and I love to learn. I'm going to take my graduate exams this Fall and see what happens after that.

Matt has agreed to fund my education habit.

It has always seemed strange to me

that in our endless discussions about education

so little stress is laid on the pleasure

of becoming an educated person,

the enormous interest it adds to life.

To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is to be educated.

We both take our last final this Tuesday! :)

Matt seriously needs some recognition for how hard he worked this semester. His daily schedule has went something like this:

*

Work

School During Lunch

Work

School After Work

Homework

Homework

Homework

Sleep

*

Somehow he still managed to squeeze in being an awesome husband and dad.

He works really hard so that I can stay home with Bean.
