done!

Today I finished my 4th year at USC! This was very bittersweet for me. I took my last final, turned in my last project, and submitted my last paper to my professors. I have had so many great teachers here and learned so much. I wouldn't trade anything for these last 4 years.

I checked my grade after taking this last final, which was online, and I found that I have 3 A's so far! I decided a new pair of shoes was a great way to reward myself for all that hard work. After all, New Shoes Cure the Blues!!

It didn't really sink in that I wasn't going to be going back to classes here, until I left the gym this afternoon. While I was on my way out of the Strom, I ran into 2 ESA sisters and each time we talked about what I was doing next. Then the big "When do you go home?" question came around and as I said it out loud "May 9th, the day after graduation" it hit me! HOLY MONKEYS!!! That is only a mere 11 days away! As I got in the car, I couldn't help but think about how almost everything I will be doing over the next week and half is the last time I will do those things with my friends who have become my family. :( Needless to say, Sunday I will be a hot mess when I have to say bye to everyone and everything that has become so familiar to me. I am headed to something completely unknown- grad school! Yikes! I am very excited to start this next chapter in my life, but closing this chapter out is going to be very, very hard!

Gosh, I can't believe that I am going to be a college graduate!!!
