Time just flies

I feel like it's cliché to say that time has really flown. And it just might be. But I'm being serious right now. Back in September, I could not have imagined the end of this program. Seemed like it was going to last forever. But here I am... nine months later, and I'm about to be finished college. Fourteen courses later... A zillion assignments later. Hours of seemingly endless lectures later. Here I am.. I can't believe that in one week, I will be finished...

Wow, I felt so much more inspired to write, two minutes ago when I started, but really, what more can I say on here? I walked into the college as nervous as could be, not even sure that I'd make it in to the program? (how silly of me, when looking at my resumé, I had to get in. Not boasting, but I've done lots of related work) ANYWAYS. Not sure I was going to get in.
But I did. I studied harder than I've ever studied in my life. Harder than when I was in high school and my graduation depended on my exams. Harder than when I was living in calgary and going to college there. Harder than ANYTHING. There had to be a reason for that, right? Well, my friends, it was because this program was something I was passionate about. Still am.. This program reflects a huge part of what I care about, a huge part of my heart and soul. Children.

I've had people tell me, over these past few months, that I'm just going to school to learn how to be a babysitter. To those of you out there who thought that, I invite you to sit in on one of my courses. Bet you couldn't figure out half of what we discuss.

Either way.. I'm really proud of myself. I've had people tell me i'm a bit of a quitter. i start something, find out that I don't like it, and quit.. It happened with Piano lessons. It sure as hell happened with AUC-NUC.. Oh I finished there, but not with any kind of effort or pride. No I was not proud of what I accomplished at AUC.. I make all sorts of goals and promises and never seem to be able to follow through with them. Maybe it's because they're not what I want for myself. This was.. This program, and the liscence I'm about to get makes a HUGE difference in my life.

Ahh.. Ok well I have one week to go. Tomorrow I have two seminars to present to the class, and next week i have six projects and two exams... So needless to say I'll be busy..

I can't wait for this to be done.. I've learned so much..

I'm writing a philosophy paper.. I'll put it up here when it's done..

Have a great night..

DIOS TE BENDIGO
