So I may not be in Ashland or Argentina right now, but i am doing something exciting tonight. I just turned in the final for my last Spanish class of my collage career....You can all be excited now. Although i'm not actually graduating this year my accomplishments make me feel as though I am. By Tuesday evening i will have finished with the last of my finals that i will ever take at Walla Walla University. To me, this is graduating. My study abroad in Germany feels like its just for me, a time for me to study one of my biggest passions, its extraneous. So on Tuesday, in my mind i will have graduated from WWU. This is when i feel as though i have accomplished something, my major was not easy for me. There were many times when i thought i was never going to learn how to speak Spanish or that i was the worst of the Spanish majors at my university. But you know what? I learned a lot, I can speak, read and write in Spanish. I may not be fluent yet but i am proud of how far i have come. So if you ever want to be proud of my academics, be proud now. The diploma i will receive next year will be just a piece of paper by then.
As a matter of fact i was just telling Nathan that no one will be proud of me when i come back from Germany because i will do well there and that is expected. I won't be proud, it wont be a huge accomplishment mainly because it feels more like a hobby of mine, a language love, not something i need to conquer. My other studies here, my major were something to conquer. I don't mean that all negatively its just that it wont be a big deal. But this all was..... I mean i just turned in my Spanish final which took me a few days to finish....that means i just completed my Spanish Major. I. Am. Done. And what a relief it is. On to my next adventure (after finals of course).
