EDD 12/15/07

Those of you who've been there before, you know how it goes.

You notice that something just feels... off. The slightest thing makes you cry. You crave dark chocolate and organic lemonade. You wonder. You constantly wonder, but have to wait to know for sure. You test things out initially only to get an inconclusive answer. You wait a few days and try again. You're nauseous, nervous, and wondering if you're about to lose your mind entirely.

On December 15, 2007
I will be in Texas with my family,
graduating with a Master of Science degree

HAH! Fooled every one of you, didn't I?

This has been in development with class planning and confirming the timespan of my internship for a few weeks plus trying to communicate with my adviser to realize that I can indeed pull off earning an MS in a mere 16 months. She confirmed that in an email this morning.

I am absolutely not joking with how I feel though, finding out The End Of Grad School with early pregnancy is similar. I am SCARED. I am THRILLED. I am indeed nauseous because it's just... a hell of a lot of work that I'm still wrapping my mind around. OMG. Am I really going to be able to do this?

Am I really going to be able to do this?

Of course.

I should have added "and stay sane in the process"...

You are absolutely going to not only do it, but do it brilliantly :) And, yeah you *totally* had me fooled!!!

[twilight33]

I hope so, and I'm glad! I've been cooking this up a loooong time and knew that if I had to wait until today it wouldn't be the same effect ;)

Totally unrelated, but I just realized today that I friended you a while back and FORGOT to add you to my default friends group so I would get your journal postings - so I just went back and read, like, seven months worth! Congrats on the fellowship!!! (better late than never, huh?)

[twilight33]

Thanks! I'm not even sure I would want to read 7 months worth of my rambling, you're brave :)

OMG, I think I need to go lay down now. My heart stopped for a second or two there. Heh.

That's great that you know for sure!

[twilight33]

hahaha! When I realized the timing of when I'd graduate I knew exactly how I was going to put the announcement in context for that very reason ;)

Woohoo! Congrats!!!

[twilight33]

thanks :) We'll just see if I'm as tired and cranky toward the end of this as I was when Kieran was overdue.
