Abadoss' MindAbadoss' Mind - LiveJournal.comGraduation!- December 19, 2007 I suppose I should probably give an update concerning the last week or so. On Saturday, I graduated. I don't have my diploma yet, but that's because I owe the business office money and I need to take a CLEP course. I was allowed to walk in the ceremony, though. In truth, the whole idea hasn't really sunk in yet. So far, the only thing that's changed is that my work now thinks I have tons of free time.

I've got a lot on my shoulders right now and I've got not much time to take care of it all. I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed, but I know, that if I focus, I can finish out everything.

Here,when I should be in bed, resting my mind,I am awake when I should sleep, I fear.I see my bed and hear my pillow's call.I feel my legs and arms, oh, they do acheand groan.
