including my mother, there are 7 women in my immediate family. all strong-willed, bright, slightly overweight women.
all have college degrees except for me.
(i refuse to go down like that)
18 months ago i started my back to school campaign and today marks the very first time i've been able to sharpie anything off the never ending college to do list.
now i just wait 2 years to get in. (what a joke)
in approximately 5 years from today, i too, will stand in line with the women of my family, holding a much-too-expensive framed piece of paper high, because i will have finally finished.
and just in time to realize that i won't actually be using it and my husband will continue to work overtime until he's 50 to pay for it, but hey, at least i'll have my degree.
because, "i'm smart. i went to college."
