Finally Finished

I graded my final essay for this term, possibly forever, half-an-hour ago. I am totally done with my MFA program. Grades turned in, essays returned to students, key to the building returned, and all my course work finished. My class did uniformly well, and I am proud of the work they did. For a final class as a grad student, I could not ask for a better experience.

This has created a problem. however. I am not at loose ends (not counting packing and unpacking for the next two months) for the summer. Already, I can feel the demon ennui sneaking in to the back rooms of my mind.

Yesterday I sent off my my application to the library masters in Texas. So now I wait to see what they have to say.

It is a cold dreary day here. I need to go get some taters for supper later on, and I hope it don't rain on me.

6.5 years of dreaming and working is over. I am what I wanted to be, success feels successful.
