the end of all things

My days as a child are soon over. I take my last finals this week and then I am a graduate. I realize many of you out there have had their doubts about this girl every graduating with anything, let along going on to graduate school. I know this because I too have had these doubts. And now thinking of it, there probably aren't "many of you out there" reading my blog.

So, it's official, I am growing up. If you have any uncertainties about this, don't. I can allay any fears any of you might have by this proclamation with my recent purchases. It's true, I purchased grown-up clothes to fit the role of graduate student and one day professor and researcher. It is time to throw away some of the old clothes that give me the appearance of a teenager and accept the fact that I am an almost 27-year-old mother and soon to be serious adult. Don't let anyone fool you, clothing is everything.
