… days left in my degree.

This fills me with both apprehension and joy; the latter is for obvious reasons, the former is because the desire to get into school and the drive to finish it have been a major part of my life for the last decade. Who and/or what will I be, now that this goal has been achieved?

Time will tell.

    I must admit I wouldn’t have thought the apprehension would have been a part of it for you. You are already in a dream job and this was an enhancement of that. But, seeing now in the context of the last 10 years and all that coming to finality I totally get it. I get apprehensive finishing a book I have committed weeks to for Random’s sake.

    Did you see this coming (the apprehension) or is it a new development?

    Are you thinking of a new objective to tackle once the degree is yours?

    I’m surprised you’re only feeling it now. I started feeling it back during the February of my last undergraduate semester.

    You did it! I remember back to when we first met, you talking about going back to school, moving away from Grande Prairie, etc etc. And here we are, 10 years later. Way to go, Chris!

    I knew it was on the horizon, but this past week is the first I’ve really encountered it, and it’s been only a background thing so far. It feels like a bit of an exponential curve thing, though; it’s getting more intense as the final day approaches.

    Everyone is so different . . . Simon got it years before the completion of his schooling, You, 2 days, and I was a bit less than a year after. Life will fill up the “challenge void” with new and interesting things. You’re a thinker, and that is all you need to continuously challenge yourself.
