Well, after 10 years of college education (spanning from 1997-2013) I have *finally* reached the endpoint of my educational career.... ! Despite what my family says (ah-hem, I'm talking about you little brother!!) I will not truly be a "forever student" and I really have reached the end of the line... If I ever decide to return to school, it would be for a career change, as I've gone as far as possible within this field. And frankly, I like what I do (!) so, I don't think that will happen anytime soon. (Now, going back to school for dance/theater/fun classes, that certainly wouldn't count, right?!?)
I won't "technically" be done with my degree until I finish my dissertation edits (I'm soooo close, but it's hard to find motivation to work on that!!) and my internship in mid-August. But, it is definitely downhill from here! Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout the years, it has been a long journey, and I'm grateful to feel so satisfied & rewarded in the work I do! (now, let's just hope the motivation & drive last for a more few decades... or, at *least* long enough to pay off my student loans!!) :)
