Just 54 more days until I'm graduated with a degree. Life up to this point seems to verge on maddness. I've been stranded on the side of the road at 3 am. I've witnessed incredible Accidents involving Semi trucks and automobiles almost weekly. I've seen apparitions in my rear veiw mirror. I've driven right into the middle of a police action involving hostages. I've lived through weeks of only 20 hours sleep for the whole week, working 18 hour days and not even a dime to my name. I've been pulled over numerous times for sleeping at the wheel though never cited. All of this in the past seven months. I feel that once I'm graduated I'll have accomplished one of the greatest feats in history. My personal history anyway. Even though this feat does not stand in competition with the conquests of Cortez or the voyages of Magellan it has forged character into my heart. A boxer when he has fought an opponent 12 rounds taking punches that have rearranged his organs he is said to have a lot of heart. Even though it might be a bit conceited I have to say that it has taken a lot of heart to make it this far, but after this next step into the world I pray to God that my heart does not fail me.

Almost there grasshopper, almost there.
Dang. It must feel good to almost be done.
What Brian said... It's so much harder than they told us it would be.
A little closer to a day different from today.
