One week until the last academic paper is submitted.

One week until the last page of the last chapter of the last textbook is read and closed.

One week until the last email with the university address is written.

One week until the last 3+ hour class is attended on a Tuesday night.

One week until my weekends are given back to me in full.

One week until midnight deadlines are no longer a ticking bomb-like concern.

One week until I can completely dictate my evening’s activities each day Monday-Friday.

One week until I earn my Master’s Degree in Business Administration.
