...Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate...

I have finished my degree. three years of hard slog (sometimes) over with. no gradual coming to a stop...in a moment i went from being a finalist frantically writing....to...(stop writing)...nothing...
I sat for perhaps two seconds a strange grin on my face (buts what new about that?) as it dawned on me that a lifetime in the education system had come to an end (for now).
I came home and i was tired and deflated...i cannot adjust to doing nothing so i have tidied the flat, tidied my room, and now i blog...
i have never felt so calm during an exam period as i have during this one. God has been so good to me, bringing peace to His crazy child...
I perhaps have not made it so peaceful for my flatmates...Esther has told me i have stretched my weirdness so far that there is no coming back. Perhaps my mind is like a rubber band i have stretched until it snapped...or perhaps there is still some stretch left...

What will i do now? I get my results June 12, i graduate July 8, graduation ball July 9.............Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica July 13 - August 31......
Then i am back in Jolly old Newcastle-Under-Lyme (I cannot escape) working as a speech and language therapy assistant (that job is mine...God willing)....

It seems there is a plan...but what it is i wait and see...i will believe...and have faith...whatever comes I am in His hands...God is with me today...
