I just returned from my last day at junior college, from now on it will be senior college or nothing. i had my calculus final today and i have no idea how it went, certainly not a crushing victory (like my zoology finals), but more of a (hopefully) win by points. but no chicken counting until next monday evening. i went in, and did my best, and hopefully that worked. if not i can do it all again later.
i can now attend to all the piddlies that i hve neglected this week like taking out the trash, cleaning the floors, and clearing all my math work off the table. the rest of the day
is a cleaning binge, and since meg is on call it is perfectly timed.
as i mentioned at the beginning it is the last of my (good heavens) six years at one jc or another. the other day they had graduation for the folks who completed programs or AA's and there was a bunch of cap/gown traffic around the school. and despite my lack of ceremonial attire i felt like them, like the king of the school. i also am scared to death of going to "big college" i know its silly, but there is so much more to do/learn(/pay for) and it has taken so long to get here. part of me is worried that i'll languish at long beach wasting time and money. my plan to counter that is meg, she will undoubtedly kick me in the butt when i need it.
but for now i am going to enjoy my first summer out of school in, well, seemingly forever. mark is in town, i haven't heard about the job at the zoo yet, there's a new parrot on the horizon, strange new haircuts every 2 weeks, and life is full of little adventures, so here's to summer.

Congratulations Son...6 years of college under your belt! (I won't tell people that it should have been a 2 year plan.) Don't be worried about "big college." You are ready! This next college is concentrating on what you like and want to do. It is the most fun part, the most practical. I am very proud of all your accomplishments. When you think of what you have done, where you have been, and the knowledge you have...you are successful. If you love your life and live it to serve God...you are successful! If you can pay your bills, put something into savings, and still have a few things you want...you are successful! If you enjoy this summer...you are successful! Go enjoy!
Love, Mom
