sudden realization

So, I'm looking at the website for commencement day instructions and all of a sudden I notice this picture of hands holding a diploma and for some reason this 1x1.5 inch photo suddenly stirs within me the realization that in a mere 8 days the culmination of my 6 years of hard work will arrive and I will hold in my own hands the one piece of paper that proves it.  Now, I won't yet be a real live pharmacist because I won't have taken the NAPLEX yet, BUT I will have a very hard earned college degree.  How freaking cool is that?!?!  I mean, obviously that's what I was going for the past 6 years but now to have it so close... it's kind of surreal.  Of course with this also comes the terror of the knowledge that I need to schedule, take, and pass the biggest test of my life to make this degree worth anything -- BUT we aren't going to think about that right now...
