Free Bird

I'm feeling a lot less stressed as I write this post.

The last school thing that had really been weighing on my mind was finished yesterday afternoon.  It was something I'd been dreading, and now it's over.

Don't get me wrong.  There are still two presentations, one paper, and one final exam standing between me and the end of the semester, and all of those hold tiny amounts of stress, but none of them hold the stress that yesterday held for me over the last week or so.

And now it's done, and I'm a free bird!

And at this point, I'm planning to celebrate my freedom tonight by having dinner with all my house church people (hello pizza!!!), and cuddling a week-old baby boy (a new honorary nephew to spoil!) for the first time.

It's a lovely thing to be a free bird!
