Today at five o'clock I will be turning in my final paper...ever. So many "lasts" this year, as far as school is concerned. But I feel like I need to commemorate all of them. It's been such a long road, so turning in my last paper, well its huge.
As you guys know (especially you guys following me on twitter), I have been working away on this paper for the last three weeks. This was the last major hurdle I had to jump towards graduating, it's really just a matter of showing up to class now. Right after I hit "save" on Sunday morning it was this huge feeling of relief but then a huge feeling of "now what?", which was nice for about ten minutes and then it became a little overwhelming. For the last 7 years (the time I have been in college)I have always had deadlines for papers and dates for tests bouncing around in my head, preventing me from totally relaxing, from staying up that extra hour, or heading out of town spontaneously. And before that I had the strict rules/schedule of dance team in high school occupying my time. And now I don't have to worry about any of that-which is so very nice but equally as weird.
Technically I need to wait for the paper to be reviewed (and passed!) by the panel of professors that will read it. So I am not totally out of the dark yet (ok now I am worried I just jinxed myself). But for now it is out of my hands.
And even though my internship doesn't end until May 15 and I don't graduate until June 12 I still have a nice list of things I can't wait to do now that I am a non-homework doing person:
1.Learn a new language or two on my Nintendo DS
2. Exercise for consecutive days in a row
3. Leisurely read magazines
4. Watch a movie randomly on a week night
5. Try new recipes
6.Go on more walks with Frankie
7. Hang out with my friends on the weekends
The possibilities are endless!! Ok, maybe not endless but exciting still!
What did you devote your time to when you no longer had to worry about school?

Congrats girl!
Well I still have one more year left, but this summer I'm looking forward to reading my huge pile of non-school related books!!
I have been ACHING for you these past weeks ... I feel that paper pain! It's the craziest feeling to not have "SCHOOL STUFF" to do. Weird, in fact. You'll love it. I remember running felt like bliss instead of a chore. I also loved weeknights with the hubby. Just came home, had dinner, hung out, talked. It was AMAZING.
Congrats Sarah! SO proud of you!
I fall under number 7, right? RIGHT? I need to meet the Frankster before he's huge!
Oh, and...CONGRATS!
congrats on the last paper! i definitely remember those days, haha. and i love your list, they're all fabulous.
I graduated with my MS last May and didn't start working full time till July. I honestly didn't get a whole lot accomplished (which actually was nice). But I did go to Israel in that time!
So no more "making out with Brad Pitt?"
I'm sure you're relieved. ;)
Congrats on finishing the paper. As a recent college grad, I know how you feel with the whole "what now?" thing. Ugh.
Wait, are you not supposed to do those things on your list while you're in school? Hmm...interesting.
Anyway, congrats on finishing that paper. And school! Are you sure you aren't going to join me in the mad pursuit of a PhD???
Well, when I was done with my bachelors, I graduated in a December, so I didn't go back to work until January. That was a nice little break!
This time around, I won't graduate until next August, and omg, I have 2 internships to do....I'm hoping to do some reading, sleeping, catching up on movies, and HOPEFULLY, I would love to go on a trip to paris as my very own graduation gift! (need to be saving now!)
