Au revoir:

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I almost don't know where to start. How does one summarize five years in such a small amount of space?

I can't believe that it's been four years since I started this grand adventure. As a non-traditional student, I have wondered a lot of things: Would I ever make it? I sometimes thought about quitting and sometimes enjoyed it so much how could I ever bring myself to leave?

It feels like it has been such a long, hard road I have been traveling; yet before me finally lays the proverbial fork in the road.

Hold on to self-esteem

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT
