Bittersweet. . .

I did it!

I just finished my last class at BYU tonight.

I was talking to my mom on the phone earlier and telling

her that my 4:00 class that lasts for 2 1/2 hours will be my last class on BYU campus

and how excited I was for the moment to arrive!

Then she asked me,

"Aren't you kind of sad too?"

I guess all the excitement of graduating and with today being the last day of classes

took over the thought that it's actually a bittersweet day.

I know that might sound pretty lame to some people,

but I have really enjoyed my time at BYU.

I told my mom I will not miss homework, papers, and exams

but I will miss the learning aspect and social aspect that school has to offer.

I had some great classes, friends, and professors this semester and this chapter of life

flies by and I know I'll look back and realize I miss those college days.

So it's a bittersweet day, but really just more excitement and anticipation for what

lies ahead. Walking off of campus tonight felt weird and I wondered if I'll get those days

where I just want to go and mosey around campus and put on a backpack again and pretend I'm still a student -- or drop in a lecture from one of my favorite religion professors.

But for now...thinking of next week and finishing up finals and then celebrating

is such a great feeling so I'm going to live in the moment and enjoy that thought right now.

Happy Thursday and almost weekend!
