One more to go!

Here I am. Through with all of my school work for the semester and ready to go an hour early. Story of my life. But that is a good thing. No stress, no worries. I have done what I  know to do and all I can do now is turn it in and hope for the best. I see these kids up all night stressing out and I do not really understand.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have stressed recently. About my cat being ill and then when he died, and when my son was up for jobs in far away places, but school work- NO! I stressed some about my BFA project, but not like you would think. It was more about the turmoil surrounding it and how it was affecting the other students involved. I hated seeing them down or disappointed and I stressed about what I could do to make it better for them. But stress about the show itself- not so much.

And now I have a day of turning in work, a meeting in the morning about the project and then I get to sing a song for a grade on Friday and I am done for the semester. I can come home and clean my house, buy new rugs, finish my veranda and decorate for Christmas. I can cook fabulous meals and wrap beautiful gifts. I can relax and read anything I want. I can watch football and Project Runway. I can’t wait!

This semester has been nothing like I expected and now next semester is shaping up to be nothing I thought it was going to be. But as usual, what I plan and what actually happens are two different things and what happens is always better than I could imagine. So I do not get disappointed when I don’t get what I thought I wanted, I sit back and enjoy whatever does come my way. So here’s to the end of a confusing semester and I look forward to one more in the new year.
