Oh, Freedom!
I. Am. Finished.
My summer semester is in the books. No more algebra. Ever!
I feel as if I’ve had a heavy burden lifted off my shoulders. This semester was hard. Really hard. There were a few times that I didn’t think I was going to be able to get it all done. With Chris gone half the summer, it was almost too much to handle. I remember telling Amy one night, very upset, that I wished I could just quit. If it had of been possible to do without losing all the tuition I paid, I would have dropped the algebra class in a heartbeat. I couldn’t, though, so I carried on.
And, now…well, now I’m through. I passed with a decent grade, and I’m glad to have it behind me. Such a relief. Such a feeling of accomplishment.
Makes me wonder what other things in my life…things that push me to the point of despair…are just a little ways from being over. If I just carry on, there is freedom to be had. Sometimes, I think we should just take a deep breath and do what we have to do. It doesn’t make it less hard. It doesn’t make it less frustrating. The freedom that is waiting, though, is worth the headaches and heartaches.
Oh, freedom!
