The news came in this week: I passed my comprehensive exams!
I will officially be a "master" of something (once I get my piece of paper in the mail that declares it). That feels nice. It feels even better to know that I have no desire to go back to school in any way, shape, or form in the future. Just in time, I'd say, considering we're going to be spending about 3 years with BJ back in school shortly. So this is the last of the summer vacations we'll have for a WHILE. And of course (leave it to the Strawsers) it won't feel like we're on summer vacation because we'll be downsizing and prepping our house to get ready for moving day--a mere two weeks from now and all our earthly belongings will be stuffed on a truck heading east. Sad day.
So my summer reward for finishing my master's has come and gone: I read Stephenie Meyer's newest book, The Host. Roughly 600 pages of interesting Sci-Fi mixed with a little bit of lovey-dovey stuff--completely clean because, after all, she is a Mormon housewife you know. It felt good to read a book and not have to review it or get tested on it, so that's all I'm going to say about my "reward" book. I am still waiting for that perfect margarita (now that it's official).... That will be a nice end to a short summer vacation, too.
