I’ve Mastered My Masters
Today, I finished my Masters. Tomorrow, who knows what I’m doing? All I know is that right now I’m finished. It seems to have fallen in line with President Obama’s efforts to reduce interest rates on Stafford loans, just in time for the Federal government to own me once again, but let us not be cynical in this victorious hour. Right now, all I can think about is what I want to eat for dinner, and how epic it’s going to taste entering my mouth and settling heavily upon gluttonous stomach. It looks like I may be eating a Pancetta Pie-this consists of the following items: Braised fennel, fior di latte, Sambuca & arugula. I have no idea what half of the ingredients are-check that-I only know that arugula is a cheese, I think. Anyway, I’m going to eat more, rest peacefully, and all around live my life without the thought of a pressing deadline or DQ. I enjoyed my time in the Harding MBA program, and to be honest, I do feel like I have a better grasp of not only the interworking and foundational principles of the business environment, but I feel like I have a more substantial grasp on who I am at this point in my life. I should be going in front of the Board in June, and with me I will be bringing a wealth of knowledge and a new degree. So I guess tomorrow is actually known, but it’s hard to manifest the reality of my future in terms of the military. The calling is strong, and although I have a tendency to over-romanticize life, I like that I perceive my future through a filter of hope. My heart is filled with joy, dark, dark humor, and tons of cynicism, but joy, that’s the word. I am joyful. I am joyful.
