Photography school for this girl is drawing to a close. One more week and all the souls that descended on Missoula Montana nineteen weeks ago will bid adieu and continue on to the next chapter. I can't believe it's over, I can't believe I did it, and I can't believe the new person who has emerged. I know that for me I have a lot to do after I graduate, starting with getting this blog to look like an internet savvy person actually runs it. A portfolio will need to be built so that I can get a website up and picking the next path that I want to travel down would be a move in the right direction. But despite the laundry list that will packed away in my suitcase next week, I am ready for the next adventure. Before this program I had a sinking feeling that I wouldn't find my way through the maze of higher education, that I would always be fearful of failure and that I just wouldn't be happy with my choices. Now, I'm ready. I'm ready for all of it. To quote one of my favorite songs, "What's left to lose? You've done enough...And if you fail well then you fail but not to us." I'm not scared anymore, and when I think about it it's silly that I ever was. I have an amazing family and the best friends I could ask for. This journey is about the relationships made along the way not the successes or failures and it's about time that I let that sink in.
