Free, Free At Last

Tonight I took my French final (much harder than I expected) and turned in my final art project and my portfolio.  Phew!

A couple of weeks ago (well, even a couple of months ago) I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown.  I was still working as a contractor, making sure I hit 40 hours a week so that I got paid while working on DeLush constantly and spending 30 hours a week on schoolwork. 

But now when I look back, I am really amazed that I pulled through and finished everything.  I had visitors here for some of the weekends.  I went away for several weekends.  I didn't get to exercise, but I did completely change my eating habits for the better.  I managed to stick to my budget pretty well.  All in all, I am very happy with the way the past couple of months have gone, outside of a few tremendously stressful days.

I am already starting to make lists of things I want to do now that I am done with school, but there's no more deadlines, so the pressure is off.   

I really appreciate everyone's encouragement over the last couple of weeks.   You've been very patient with my lack of posts and email responses. 

Now, let the summer vacation begin!
