I've been waiting ten long months for this day. At 7.30pm tomorrow, my graduation ceremony begins.

Not that 10 months is a long time. And not that it's been that bad, actually, I'm going to miss school dreadfully. I loved learning more than I ever have in my whole life. I liked my teacher, I liked what I was being taught... and now, it's coming to a close. I'm really quite sad.

And nervous. Did I mention that?

Now that I am a college graduate, I feel as though I really should act like a grown up and find a career and stop jerking around. But I don't want to. I'm not ready yet. The only thing that really scares me is the field that I'm in. Everything moves so damn quickly in the IT field. If I take a year off, I can miss a hellovalot of things. I really have to keep my knowledge current. It's bad enough I'm not that qualified to be in this field. I love what I've been taught, it's just not enough to compete with the other people in this world.

But I'm almost there. No longer a student. I'm out in the work force again. That scares the crap out of me too.

But tomorrow, I get to walk across that stage, proud to be an honour student, and proud of what I've done in the past year.
