It is Finished!

I walked out of my African final (which I kicked butt on) this morning knowing it was the last undergraduate final I would ever take.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been telling people that it's my last semester and they respond with excitement. I didn't, however, really care.

When I walked out of class today, I was overcome by an intense feeling of accomplishment and finality. I had a huge smile across my face and felt so wonderful! It is finished! My political science degree will be sent to me in the mail and I will officially be an alumni.

I now understand how graduates feel, but I'm more overcome with the feeling of being done rather than adoration. I'm going to graduate and law school, so I'm not completely finished--but one leg of my journey is done.
