Break out the bubbly!

As of this evening, I am done. Done I say. No more tests, papers, late nights, no life. DONE.
It's taken me seven years of one or two classes at night, and what do I get? An AS in General Studies. DONE!
So done.

Never say that now
We are beyond everything.
Never say that there is no longer for me.
There is always new and fresh, then wait for a miracle,
But never say no more.
Never say that now
We are beyond everything.
There can be no new life suddenly.
Never say it's over, I do not care,
In addition to everything it all comes out.
| |: Do not tell me it's over,
I'm just saying it's all worth it.
And if it was worth it, come to a point
What do you have to say, oh, tell me! : | |
Never say that now
We are beyond everything.
Never say that there is no longer for me.
There is always new and fresh, then wait for a miracle,
But never say no more.by the way she is an actress - not a singer...

Congratulations!
But you aren't done; this is just the beginning, as I'm sure you'll be reminded in the commencement address...

Thanks all. It is a great feeling.
I'm not a 20 something with 40+ years of work ahead of me. I have about 15 years to retirement. I have a good career that pays well. I'm having a hard time seeing the financial benefit. But, I do like learning new stuff, which is why I started going to the community college in the first place. Took a bunch of classes that I wanted to take. Enjoyed it, saved the classes that I had no interest in to last, which has been so very hard to maintain any sort of motivation. Not to mention, the texts and professors gear the material towards 20-somethings who have no to little experience in the world. Give me meat not milk.
If I were 20-something, I'd switch careers and go into the biological sciences. Can't see starting over at this point. I did apply to two universities and have been accepted to both. One with a nice scholarship that still won't cover even half of the cost (private college, Westminster).
My dream would be to quit working and just get it done. Could do it in 1 1/2 years. but the dear hubby just had his hours cut back. So, maybe by fall I could be a full time student. If not, I'll see where life takes me/us. :)
