So, I've been out of school for nearly a week and a half, and I'm bored. My road has been extremely long and arduous; 2 years to be exact and in those 2 years I've always had something to do. I've held down 2 full time jobs and gone to school. In those 2 years there hasn't been a moment where I wasn't thinking about school. Even if I said I wasn't going to do any work, there was still work to be done. There was always this thing in the back of my brain. Now that thing is no longer there and. I'm. BORED!
As crazy as it is, I'm bored. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to be done. I got 3 degrees in 2 3/4 years. Just saying it is exhausting and I'm the one who lived through it! It's crazy, I know. I'm just bored. I don't have weekly deadlines anymore or papers to write or the pressure of it all. I don't have anymore pressure! It's weird, yet I'm happy. I have a plan though, get back into Zumba, resume weight watchers, and give J more attention. I was doing really well and then school got serious and I stopped going to Zumba and about 2 months ago I told myself that I would allow myself to eat whatever I wanted. That, my friends, was a bad move. A really bad one! I went class last night with Adelicia and I wanted to pass out. The warm up was 10 minutes long and I started praying half way through. I didn't give up though; I never give up. It's mind over matter and a few prayers of "God, please don't let me pass out." However, I just may fall out when I go to my WW meeting and see exactly how much I've gained. WTF was I thinking?

Hello, my name is Victoria....
and I have my MBA. Yep, folks that right! OMGEEEEEEEE!!
I finally made it!
I did it!
I knew I would...
(well, there was a period there last week and the week before that and the week before that)
I was a little worried that I may not make it. It was really scary, stressful, overwhelming, and rest of the adjectives that I've described countless times in my blogs as a ranted and worried. I mean I woke up this morning and I don't have a single assignment to do. My nights of going to class (the live chats) are over. I don't have to worry about group projects anymore. It really hasn't sunk in yet; I have an advanced degree!! I'm super proud of myself. Graduation is in Chicago in the Spring and I can't wait!
In all seriousness, next to getting married and having babies, this is the greatest single thing I've done in my whole life. EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! J has been wonderful throughout the whole process. We have a 5 hour time difference and he stayed up with me late into the night so many nights I've lost count. I'm the first to admit that I can be a hand full and that's magnified when I'm under lots of stress but he stuck it out and took the moodiness in stride. I couldn't have done it without his love and support and also from all of my family and friends. Incidentally, I mailed him a sleeve of my thin mints and my trefoils last week in his box. You know that's love when a girl gives away her thin mints. IJS...
I also wanted to thank all of the readers in blog world who sent well wishes and/or offered up prayers. They are much appreciated. It took a village to raise me, and a village to get me through school.
And now, getting back to the task at hand....getting into the foreign service. If I can make it through that program, I can make it through the application process!
