So I finally walk away with my MBA tomorrow. My parents are in town (well, right now they are in NJ) and will be coming to the ceremony tomorrow as will my brother. The whole process is so bittersweet. I am happy to be done with school. However, I have trepidations over what’s to come.
As I alluded to in another post, this is the first time I feel like I am stepping forward without passion. There is a sameness to this step that does not light any fires within me. It is a hard reality to face.
I have tried to make the most of post-term. Went to everything up until tonight. I just don’t have it in me to go tonight. I am finally crying uncle. My body is beat up and exhausted. I know tomorrow will be a different kind of exhaustion as I deal with family. As much as I love being around my parents, the feeling like I am constantly juggling parents and other commitments wears me out. Where do people find all of this energy?
The next couple of months will be full of transition. It will all start with the trip to the Dominican… then I turn another year older… then a new full time job… then moving.
For now, though, I am ecstatic to be graduating tomorrow. I am so excited to see my parents! And I am excited for the first alumni party tomorrow night. As for everything else… it’ll work itself out… it always does.

Congratulations! And you never go very long without fire of some sort… sometimes it’s just a slow start. Love, me.
