Had my last final ever this morning and I'm graduating in less than a week with my MSW. It's so weird, though I still don't think it's hit me entirely yet. But tonight, it did get a bit more real at the graduation dinner for our program. It was at La Jolla Groves. (And it was delicious.)
It was really fun just hanging out with everyone. But then we watched a slideshow that was put together by the lovely KayLee. It was so fun seeing pictures of us throughout the program. And the awards were kind of funny. (I somehow won the "senioritis" award... I will admit that I was pretty checked out this last semester for various reasons). But it made me super sentimental. These past two years have kind of flew by in the blink of an eye. We've become pretty close as a cohort and now we may never see each other again.
I'm not ready for this. I don't feel ready to be a professional and launched into the "real world." I don't feel ready to move on from being a student. To move on from these friends. From these memories. I'm not ready for things to change. I'm comfortable here right now and I don't want things to change (I think that'll have to be another post).
But it's been an awesome couple of years. I've learned and grown so much. And now I just need to look towards the future, trusting that there are even better things coming my way.
Believe it or not Colette, you ARE ready for this! You've worked hard and you are going to be an awesome therapist! I have no doubt that you'll do amazing things in the next chapter of your life!!
