MAYBE IF I POST, IT WON'T FEEL SO BIG.
So here it is--32 days from graduation (May 8), 20 days left of the semester (April 24), and three weekends of classes to attend. I have three papers, a journal assignment and a final exam to complete and then I will be finished. In addition to that, I will complete several modules for the child welfare agency that I am currently interning with, and will be employed by(!) on May 17. On the very top of all of this (right beside the cherry), I want to study for the Master's Exam.
{insert silent scream here}
I am writing this post for two reasons: 1.) to release tension, and 2.) to help another student who might be out there feeling overwhelmed, too.
These are the days we will probably not remember in the days, months, and years to come. Like my Dad used to say about stuff that was troubling me when I was just a child: "You'll forget all about this by the time you get married." Back then it was a skinned knee or a lost toy; today it's a Master's degree. Go figure!
A quote from a meditation book I keep close at hand states:
On accepting your path through life:
Your way is decided
There is nothing you will not be told,
if you acknowledge this.
~Ms. T. J.
Your way is decided

if you acknowledge this.
So be it.
