It seems that I have reached the end of an era. My graduate program has been completed and all that is left is to see what the final GPA looks like. Graduation is coming up next Friday. I am still not at a point that I am excited or even focused on the joy of finishing something so great, but there are little things that are starting to affect me. I have had a couple of end of the year celebrations that have made me think about the fact that I won't live in Massachusetts a month from now. I have also gotten together a couple of times with people from my cohort and started to realize that I probably won't see most of them again, even the ones I have gotten closer to.

So what is next for me, you may be wondering. I am going to head south and spend a little time at home in Maryland. After a couple of weeks, I will finally transition down to my new home in North Carolina. This is going to be a major move because I will finally be living alone and working a full-time job with few familiar faces around me. Though my move to Massachusetts was difficult, I will no longer have school distracting me from life outside of work and I am going to have a lot of added responsibility on me.

This is going to be one interesting transition.
