I Did It

 Just a couple of short hours ago I got my grade back on my final capstone project. A! I have earned a master's degree from SNHU! This journey has been so difficult and long! I've gone through all the details as they all happened so I'm not going to rehash but just want to say how honored I am, how grateful I am, and how humbled I am now. 

2015 was a long time ago and now on May 24th, 2022 my last step was completed. What a ride this has been and what a future I have now. Future Grandkids, let me tell you something, if someone like me can do something like this at my age, then you can do something amazing too. 

This has been something amazing!

Finished

 I just wrapped up my discussion posts which was the dot on the "I" and the crossed "T" which means I'm only waiting on grades now. My academic career has come to a conclusion with no more work for me to do in any course, at any school, for any reason. 

Now I've got freedom. The freedom I never thought I'd have this side of 67!!! 

What's next? I don't know yet but when I do, I'll be here to tell you. 

With this free time it might be time to blog on a regular basis! Might write another novel. Might not do anything. 

The Final Step

 This journey started in 2015. I've talked about it a lot. After retiring in October I've gone through a lot of changes. 

Last night I turned in my final for my master's degree. What started with insomnia turned into planning for a future, which turned into a choice I had to make, which turned into freedom.

I've talked about all of that but now, now I've got 7 days remaining in school, technically. I'm waiting on my grades now and waiting on peer reviews of my work and work that I can review this week. 

Officially, for the first time since I was barely a teen, I won't have any professional or academic responsibilities. That's a big deal. I've never had that....freedom. While most of my fellow students will be searching for a career next week, I'll start where they want to be. Retired and free.

There is a real chance I won't pass. I don't feel good about my final but it is what it is. My professor says I'm doing good but I don't feel that way. 

So, what does the next few weeks hold? 

We'll see! It's exciting, freeing, and an amazing time!
