Grad School

Hey guys!
I hope everyone is doing well. Congratulations on your new jobs Linsdey and Ariel. Also congratulations on getting Gracie Lindsey! That's got to be so exciting! I'm sorry to hear about Josh having to work in Florida. How long will he have to do that? Have you thought about the possibility of moving there if it's long term? I know it's going to be hard to be separated. Josh and I went through something similar when he was in the Army. I know how hard and lonely it can be. Keep your family and friends close and it won't be so bad! I'll keep you both in my thoughts!

So I have big news! Yesterday, I FINALLY got my letter from GMU about grad school and... I'm in! I got into the program I applied to and I'm going to be starting my first class in June! I'm SO excited!! Now, I just need to focus on ending my last semester and bachelor's degree with some closure. I want to finish strong. I talked a bit about it in our posting for this module, but I tend to get lazy during the end of my semesters, especially since it's my last semester, and I have been particularly feeling bad about my lack of focus and dedication to school. I'm already moving past the end of the semester and I haven't even given it proper closure yet. I am going to work very hard to buckle down and be a focused and hard working student for the next 2.5 weeks of my semester and then I'm going to fully appreciate crossing the stage and feeling like I truly earned my diploma.

I also want to feel like we've had good closure as a group. I'm going to miss reading about you guys's lives and having friends to share my spiritual journey with. Part of getting good closure I think, is to definitely meet and have lunch. Just so we can say our goodbye's as a small group.

Anyway, I'm going to go do some of that buckling down and work on some of my papers. I have 6 pages down on my 30+ page field experience journal on top of a presentation and 4 other smaller papers due in the next two weeks. I've been procrastinating working on all this, but I know I'll go crazy if I don't break it up and work on it a little at a time. So, wish me luck! I can't wait to see you guys!
