At Last (Sing it! Like Ella!)

Well, I've just finished the biggest, most stressful thing between me and graduation: my final paper for Varieties of English. Oh, yeah. Thankfully, since tests are easy for me, I'm not worried about my two finals. I do have to get a good score in HEPE (the health class), since I, um, totally forgot about one of the tests and as such am automatically missing 20% of my grade that should be there. I'm not too worried, though, because I did the math and I think I can still score an 80% and be fine. I'll get a D-, but I'll pass, so who cares! D's get degrees!


Yup, so that's all. I'm a little sad because there are some classes I'd like to take, (or just audit, because then I wouldn't have to do the homework) like Forensic Linguistics and Discourse Analysis, but I think I'll be ok.


I'm really looking forward to the time coming up that I'll have to just be me, just spend time with Will and Chaela and the rest of my family. I can't wait to be back in the place I'll always call home, even though now I've technically lived in UT longer (gag).


Will I go back to school someday? I'm open to the possibility, but I'm not planning on it right now. I've got to get Will through, first, and then we'll see where we are. There are some other things I'd like to do before that, anyway, like finish my book and maybe try to con someone into publishing me. I'd also like to have another baby sometime in the next few years, depending on our financial situation, and to focus on the things I'm good at that formal education doesn't teach you, like making crafty things and singing. I know I'll be working full-time, but I want to be able to teach Chaela a little bit in the upcoming years as well, things like colors and numbers, you know. Also some social skills. I don't want her to be shy like I was in high school. If I do ever go back to get my Master's/PhD, I'll have a tough time deciding what to do. I've thought about Anthropology, Archaeology, Linguistics, Secondary Education, or Audiology/Speech Pathology. I also like Geology a lot. That is, if any place will take me! Choices abound!


Anyways, I think it's time for bed. I'm grateful for my time at BYU, even though the administration wasn't my favorite I had a great academic experience. Woo hoo I'm almost a GRADUATE!
