Tomorrow will mark two weeks since I presented my capstone project and completed a master's degree. I thought I would feel so overjoyed, but that has yet to happen. I was so anxious due to the way that day went and purely exhausted. To top it off, I got sick last week, and I'm fighting a cold (thanks, Colt Buddy) this week.
I told my dear friend that it felt like I limped over the finish line. This semester was the hardest by far. And now, now who knows. When I set out to get my degree, it was to attain something greater professionally, but now I have doubts about getting too ambitious. I really want to focus on my children. Now, hang with me for a second.
I don't plan on being a stay-at-home-mom (though I would love it). I just don't want to take on a job that goes too far beyond 40+ hours on a regular basis. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a Girl Scout leader someday. I would love a little flexibility in a job where I feel appreciated. But is that too much to ask? I'm completely serious.
Last night, I prayed for the right opportunity to present itself. I feel a little desperate since there is no clear-cut path to what could be next. I just need to take one day at a time and remember that change doesn't happen overnight.
As far as finishing my degree, I am hoping the elation comes in a few weeks when I actually walk. I picked up my cap and gown today.
