I am going to finish my undergraduate degree.
Ever since I got pregnant with Colbie and had to withdraw from all but one of my classes, I've taken a few classes here and there.
Enough is enough.
I sat down and mapped out how many credits I will have left after this upcoming spring semester (I'm taking 9).
15.
15 credits split between summer and fall.
15 credits is keeping me from my degree.
I've worked too hard (for the most part!) to quit now.
I'm doing this for myself.
But I'm also doing this for this little bear.

Because she looks up to me. She follows my example and copies everything I do, right down to cleaning my ears.
It's scary that she watches me that closely.
But also humbling and amazing.
So I'm buckling down and getting it done.
Because come hell or highwater, I will be done this time next year.
I WILL be done next December.
I will be DONE next December.
I will.
