Currently Reading Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers By Lois P. Frankel see related

friday the 13th this year was a monumental day for me.  i finished my last undergraduate course, and had my last day at my internship.  college has finally come to an end .. granted i already walked in commencement at the end of spring .. but it didn't feel real until i finished this last course.  i don't think its sunk in yet .. and it probably won't till i move out in 2 weeks .. i've lived on this campus for four years - dorms to apts .. never off campus.  every path, every bend, every building and street hold memories for me - the good, the bad, and the ugly.  it's been an interesting chapter .. i made good choices and bad .. all of which have made me who i am.  i am glad that i had the option of living away from home - i think everyone should experience being on their own for a while .. and figuring things out .. and making some mistakes as well.  they only add character.  i am also thankful for the people that were brought into my life in these past few years..

and as this chapter ends .. a new one begins tomorrow ... i start training for booz allen tomorrow as a consulting analyst .. i'm excited and scared for my first day.  scared .. because it's not college anymore .. every decision counts .. with classes, we kinda had the option of skipping it, and sleeping in .. and being irresponsible.  cramming the night before an exam, usually worked out.  not anymore.  everything will be different now..

but i am excited .. because it is a new beginning.  i'm excited .. because i want to do things differently.  i want my life to go in a different path.  i will be successful.. i will do it all .. i believe i can.  =)

gnite.  yes, this is now my new bedtime because i have a ridiculous commute to nova every morning.  boo! =(
