In keeping with my theme of wrapping things up, I finally turned in my application to graduate today. In a few weeks I will finally be the holder of an Associate of Arts degree, woot!

It took me a long fucking time to finish this, but I did it. Most of the time I had to just keep my head down and focus on getting through one quarter, one class at a time. Sometimes I got sick and had to drop out. Sometimes I made the dean’s list. It took me three schools and many starts and stops, but I did it.

Can I just say that it feels weird to have accomplished something? I’m so good at giving up. In some way, I’m really not sure how I got here.

Back to school again in another month. Keep grinding, hopefully I’ll get where I’m going someday.
