Well, folks, I did it. Graduation this past Saturday went
off without a hitch. I officially have a Master’s degree. I still can’t believe
it.
A really great thing happened while I was at the school. I
got to see a few of my classmates. You may be wondering why I haven’t seen them
already, but the entire program was online, so we never met our classmates in
person. It was really nice to be able to talk to them face to face about
everything from personal lives to the picky revisions in our capstone course. Let
me tell ya, it made me feel a lot better knowing I wasn’t the only one who
thought the professors were picky. The tiniest little detail bothered them and
they wouldn’t grade it until it was fixed. But, I digress.

It’s weird because it was an all-new waiting game once we
were standing in line to walk. Then, it took forever to get everyone seated. After
that, all of the sudden, it was my row’s turn to walk up and have our names
called. We sat down, I blinked, turned my tassel, and it was over. I was
rushing through the crowd to get outside, desperately looking for my husband
who had already made his way out. Five minutes later, we were on the road home.
What seemed like ten minutes was really two hours from the point the ceremony
actually started. Two years knocked down to two hours. Wow. But it was totally
worth it and I would do it all over again—late nights researching, writing, pulling
my hair out, writing, doubting myself, writing, and wondering what the hell I had
gotten myself into (and did I mention writing?).
As promised, I will post some of my photographs from my capstone
project. I just have to get them into some kind of presentable format for the
blog. Once I figure that out, I will post them.
Thank you, readers, for sticking with me during this
process!
What shall we talk about next? Anyone have any art
related suggestions?
