Rough Semester

In my last personal post of the semester, I just have to say, I'm so excited to graduate...but it has been a rough semester!  I've been in pain since February, and it's only recently started to let up.  I even had to take time off of work to get the pain under control!  It's getting better now, thank goodness.  I know that I can walk across the stage at graduation anyways.  But sometimes I get so angry about it.  Haven't I been through enough?  After all of that cancer, and all of this time of driving back and forth to Verm for full time class, plus working full time.  I've been exhausting myself trying to move forward with my life, and it seems like in the process, I didn't do myself any favors.  Sometimes I wonder if I didn't bring this on myself by allowing myself to do too much.  Either way, sans a few correspondence credits, I graduate in a week.  It's almost surreal, but I cannot wait.  Now I have to keep my confidence that I can do what I've set out to do...write like a mad woman for money!  First job application to go out will be to a feature writing magazine in Nebraska.  Cross your fingers for me!
