Got my diploma - now what?

I finally received my diploma last week. It's official - I have a Master's degree.

Now what? I honestly don't know what to do with myself; going back to school was supposed to occupy all of the wait time.

Since classes finished I've cleaned the house, organized closets, caught up on TV (thank you Hulu.com!), read a few non-textbook books, and alphabetized my CDs. Okay the CDs were already alphabetized but they needed tidying.

I need a hobby. One other than waiting for BeachBaby.

Knitting? Glass blowing? Anyone? I am taking my bike in for a tune up this week.

Even the dog is bored!

Subliminal influences

This is one of those 'too weird to be true' things.

Last night I caught the last hour of my favorite holiday movie, White Christmas. Very kitschy I know, but I love it.

There's a scene in the movie with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Vera Ellen arguing and I tuned out a bit. But then I saw something on the wall behind them. A familiar print/ picture.

The very same vintage balloon print I put in the nursery! I swear! I even ran the film back twice to look at it again. There were two of them on the wall; one definitely was this print:



So, did I fall in love with these prints because I'd been staring at one every year when I watched White Christmas?

School's out!

It's all over - all of the papers, late-night assignments, too many textbooks, and no free time.

Done, kaput, finito!

Yes, my graduate school experience is finally, finally finished.

I'm thrilled but oh so tired. I'm looking forward to weekends and lots of extra sleep. I don't think the enormity of it has hit me yet.

So pop open the champagne!

And now, back to your regularly scheduled baby watch . . .

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

No I'm not going on vacation (oh vacation sounds nice!).


Today marks the start of my last quarter of grad school. As this quarter is the fulfillment of my capstone/ thesis I've a lot of work over the next 12 weeks.


So, unless something monumental happens on the adoption front, I will be sadly neglecting this blog for the next 83 days.

And maybe for a few days beyond that while I wildly celebrate the completion of school. : )


Talk to you after Thanksgiving!
