I finished my last class yesterday

drove out to the school (about an hour away) and sold my books back for $110. Spent $50 in the bookstore getting my cap/gown/tassel and a Marshall tee-shirt. It feels so incredibly good to be done. Driving around campus made me feel so old though, seeing all these young students (I am only 31 but man I feel OLD in comparison lol) and made me feel like I am going to feel so out of place at commencement next weekend... I don't think I will feel done done until I get the degree in my hand which won't be until after graduation (final grades aren't even due until after commencement, but I should have straight As this term).

I started going to college in 1995 (I graduated from HS in 96). I told dh if I didn't hurry up and finish I was going to be in class with kids born in 1995! LOL

Yep, so good to be done... and now, so much to ponder about what I want to do. I have felt held back by not having it done for... well for a decade!

I have been spending the morning looking at the GMAT and grad school. I think our next step is studying for the GMAT and then dh and I are going to ponder plopping down $70K for us to both get our MBAs.
