Well this semester, my very last semester of undergrad school is finally over. It was nice to finally not have to worry about classes and finals this morning. It was also nice to wake up and realize that I have officially graduated: I am a college graduate.
I know that I'm nowhere near done with my studies, but being able to finally say that I've accomplished something after all these years of attending school is actually very nice.
I've been playing it down and not really cared about it much when it comes to celebration or anything of the sort, but it is nice to know that I've accomplished one goal on my list and that I can move forward with my plans.

I have my Bachelor's Degree! I do, I did it. It was not easy, and I did it while working, and it truly took me "forever", but I have it.

Of course my mind is already racing with all the new stuff I have piled on my plate. I have a lot of art that I want to get to, and I have books that I want to write... and I want to see about starting up my non profit (homeless shelter) before I'm even done with my PhD. So lots and lots of things to do... but it's a good kind of feeling. I do hate being left without anything to do... so all these goals are making me pretty happy.

I've adjusted a little bit my plans for travel... now I'm going to go back to California, work for two months, save up the money needed, and then go for one month to France, and two-three months to Costa Rica. So still the same amount of travel, just in a different order really. I'm really looking forward to it.

And that's about it, can't wait for Christmas and to be back with my family. I've missed them all so very much, it'll be nice to just relax and see how everyone is doing.
