It’s been a bad week this week, slow, tiring and busy busy busy. I mean, realistically, it’s not been that bad but as it comes to Sunday I think to myself I could do with just one more day to recover. I was told that some weeks I won’t have enough time to do everything, this week was one of those weeks and as I go into Monday, I know there’s a few things I need to pick up from last week. However, next week things will be different, as not only will it be quick it will be extremely busy and it’s something I’ve been looking forward to…
Yes, next week will be different, next week I can finally call myself a Graduate, as next week it’s finally, after six months, my Graduation! I’m going to put on my robes and grab that scroll and walk to collect my certificate which will mean I’ve finally done it, finally graduated and finally I don’t have to worry about my grade being just a dream! Because I do you know, worry about it all being a dream. I mean I was sat in Chicago experiencing the best holiday of my lifetime and being told that I’d not only passed my degree but that I’d got the best grade I could get. It’s ridiculous, for the first time in my life I felt proud to be me and couldn’t wait to tell everyone how well I’d done! That moment when I found out was the best moment of my life, it was incredible, overwhelming and something I wouldn’t replace with anything, ever. I burst into tears and an amazing amount of relief came over me and after three years I felt that it was all worth it. The heartache, the depression, the highs and the lows were all worth it and here I am six months on about to live that feeling once again.
I will cry, I know it. I’m so proud that I won’t be able to control myself, as again the relief will just take over and I will melt into the floor right in front of a whole crowd of people. So I’ll have to be strong, control myself and remember that this is a happy moment and that smiling is the way to go. It will never work, which is great and I know one thing… I’ll have to wear waterproof mascara! So as I start the week as an Undergraduate I’ll end it as a Graduate and not only a Graduate but a Graduate with a job. I’m so lucky; so incredibly lucky to have gained these opportunities by working so hard and hopefully my luck will continue.
There’s so much I want to do in life, so much I want to see and experience. I want to be big, I want to make it and I want to do as much as I can! Oasis speak words of wisdom I think (I don’t know whether I’m just tired and listening to them too early in the morning) and as the song Live Forever goes I want to live I don’t want to die and so I’m going to give it my all, always.
But if things don’t go as planned, Oasis have that covered too…
Maybe I will never be, all the things that I want to be, but now is not the time to cry, now’s the time to find out why…
And so I will. As the famous saying goes you’ve got to think big to be big and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
It's a Grad's World After All...
