Degreed?

Okay. So here’s how crazy I am. I finally sent the check to have my degree mailed to me. That’s right – one year later. I’ve avoided it like the plague.

You might be curious why I would do that – why I wouldn’t run to get it as soon as possible, so that I can have proof and have my little letters validated at the end of my name. I was terrified that they wouldn’t give it to me – that there is no way I actually got it and I am fooling all of you and they aren’t going to give me the degree. I have been sitting with this fear for a year now.

Not any more. I sent it in the mail today. I’m actually really scared that I am going to get a call that says they have been trying to reach me and I am going to have to take another class or rewrite my thesis or something. But I’ll know soon – when it gets here.

This is a good sign – it’s a sign that I am taking care of business, which I haven’t been doing. I’ve been taking care of other people, taking care of having fun and being crazy, taking care of my body. Not taking care of business. This is the next step – to handle this piece, including finances, etc.

The year of integration continues.
