nerdy tears

Today I handed in my thesis, so tonight I begin to realize just how close I am to having my masters' degree.  And although I'm happy, mostly I'm just filled with a sweet sadness.  Beyond all the uncertainty that the future holds in regard to jobs, beyond the excitement for a new adventure and starting to pay off my student loans, I am mainly realizing how much I will miss this whole school thing.  Sure, sometimes it is stressful.  But that's how life is, I think.  I will miss this life so much.
