Today started out rough.  I woke up well before the sun even peeked it’s little sunny eye out above the horizon. I drank my pumpkin flavored coffee to help me keep my own eyes open and headed off to school early for an appointment. Only, I left late (it runs in my genes!), got stuck in traffic, and then couldn’t find the building I need and realized that I needed to be all the way on the other side of campus.  Which, therefore makes my early rising a complete waste since I couldn’t make my appointment despite my fast walking. Ugh.

The good news?  I got all my exercise in today walking around campus like a lost puppy.  And? I got to try out my new and awesome Land’s End coat (it kept me nice and toasty in the 42 degree weather. Hello fall!). I believe I did well on my math exam today.  And, with my extra time I was able to stop by an adviser to make sure I’m on tract in my courses and prepare for spring registration. And found out…

By the grace of our good God, I am some how ahead of schedule.  Some how, even though I took an entire year off from classes to have Savannah, switched schools, switched majors and minors twice, I am ahead.  How in the world?  I was behind by at least a semester, if not more, when I started back last year.  But man, God has done some heavenly work and I CAN GRADUATE IN A YEAR FROM NOW!

In fact, I’m so close to being done that by Christmas I will be considered a senior because of my credit numbers! I’ve counted and counted and counted again the classes I need and it still comes out to a beautiful number.  The catch is that I have to take 2 summer classes, but that is a-okay with me if that means I get done a full 6 months early.  I am so excited!  It will be a tough year cramming in demanding classes and not getting much of a break, but man, it will be worth it to cross that stage and the weight of the world lifted.

God is so good! I take this as a sign that my decision to change minors to Woman’s Studies was the right thing to do. I feel so at peace right now and so excited for the future! I’m ready to be DONE! I’m ready to spend my time with my precious little girl and making cute letters for people :-)
