Yee-hah! I submitted my master's project today for my Master of Arts in Professional Communication at Royal Roads University. Whew!
After I uploaded it, I felt drained. We still have two weeks to go in our last class, and have one more team case study to complete, so it's hard to celebrate.
Two weeks to go!
I'm also feeling a bit bereft, because while it's been a tough slog the last two years, it's also been a blast working with so many great people, co-learners and profs alike. It'll be hard letting go. And moving on... And deciding where to go now in my career...
I just wish Mom was here to see me finish, and to attend convocation this autumn. She was looking forward to it. She was so thrilled that I decided to go back to school that she paid my tuition -- kind of embarrassing for a grown man in his 40s, but that's what she wanted to do for me and I appreciate it so much.
She'd be happy to know that I pulled through -- when she was getting sick this spring she kept insisting that I focus on my project, and while I fell behind on my initial drafts, I made the final deadline.
Thanks, Mom. I love you.
