Woo HOO

Tomorrow is going to suck. I had to work all day and I am tired now, so tomorrow I am going to get up at 9am, go to the Library and study till my 1:30 and 3:30 finals, then go straight to work, and then polish off some celebratory brews( Run-on sentence I know, but I took English 110 like 6 years ago). Heres the thing that will get me through tomorrow. After Tomorrow, roughly 4:30 pm, I will have the following in front of me. Pretty much 2 weeks of a Spring Break and ONE quarter left in my College career. College has obviously taken me a lot longer to finish then just about any of my friends, regardless of the year I had to take off for the Guard or not. I definately did not do well for a while there and finally got my act together. It's not easy to admit that you fucked up in school or in anything for that matter, but here is what does matter. I learned from my mistakes, straightened up and will have my degree in just 10 more academic weeks! Its going to be extremely special for me because of all the trouble I put myself in. I definately will not miss studying for exams, writing papers, and trying to stay focused/attend class. I owe one to the academic advisors of OSU that put a caddle prod in my ass and forced me to graduate. All of them know me, of that I am sure...I am the Van Wilder of the largest University in the country.. It kinda sucks being a 24 year old college student, but hey.....yunno what doesn't suck? Being a college graduate with 0 loans, having my full tuition 100% paid for and basically no debt. That is not something ANY of my friends can say except for the ones that had mommy and daddy put them through school. And I guess that includes my siblings. Of course, 2 of them have graduate degrees, so they have their own loans...Regardless it's nice knowing that while it took me a while to graduate (5 academic years), it has cost my Dad 0 dollars.. God I love the National Guard....
