My roomie (who had been with me all 4 years) and I cried the entire way home, singing Crosby, Stills, and Nash the whole way. Surely there was nothing left for us in life that would ever be this good. <br /><br />Luckily, it did get pretty good, though.

College was a nice step, because well for me I had the benefit of moving away, but mom and dad still supporting me, and upon finishing there, it was scary and exciting, like saying, hey world look at me, I did it, now give me a job............please....LOL.<br />Your trip sounds like a really good one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-77452042377420373252009-06-09T18:03:07.840-07:002009-06-09T18:03:07.840-07:00No kidding, huh?

You god-daughter seems excited to take the next step in her life, and she's lucky to have you there to cheer her on.<br /><br />Can't comment personally on what finishing uni feels like - I'm 24 and have been in tertiary education since I was 19 (took a gap year after high school). Sadly, there's no end in sight just yet, as I'm in a medical-related field and will probably be studying in some form for the rest of the conceivable future (ie. at least 'til age 30... Haha!) In some ways, I welcome the end of uni. SO sick of it. But I really can appreciate where K is coming from, too. My man finished his undergrad degree at age 21 and STILL has no idea what he wants to do with it (needless to say, he went back to university...)<br /><br />xothe girl with the pink teacuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899687576835455016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-11226407864159738152009-06-09T17:43:04.723-07:002009-06-09T17:43:04.723-07:00Talk about bringin' it all back.
