AW: graduation tears

imrachellea · July 2013

A few days ago I posted about how I was graduating with my master's next Tuesday. I also posted about the mass amount of work I had left in my last class before I could rest easy and just be glad I was graduating. Well...I worked my tail off the past few days annnnnnd...I have officially submitted my last final exam, my last research paper, and my last presentation! All that is left to do is comment on my classmate's presentations (which have not been submitted yet) and answer my classmates' questions on my presentation (also not available yet as they are likely waiting to finish their own presentations).

So the tears part? Well, first I am just immensely relieved to be finished and second, I got all teary eyed thinking about how excited I am that my sweet baby girl will be with me at graduation. When I started this journey 5 years ago, I was excited to know that my DH would be with me on the day I finally finished, but it never crossed my mind that I'd have a little one with me too. And she'll be "sitting" right with mama! Ugh I am such a sentimental mess but I just love that she'll be able to hear it and I can tell her that one day. Just had to share again :-P
