the end is near

monday i turn in my portfolio and have a mock interview with professors and community teachers. then all i have to do is walk the line friday afternoon and it's official - i will be a college grad. still seems unreal. hasn't really hit me yet. maybe it's because i'm having a hard time with the whole thing. my girlfriends from high school mostly finished on time so they're out in the real world already. i also feel like i hardly know anyone graduating. it's not like high school when i could put a face with every name in the program. i've become so alienated from campus the past two years that i only know a handful of people. also, i think it's kind of hard knowing i won't have any family here on the big day. i understand it's expensive to make the trip and i didn't think it would bother me, but as it approaches, it gets tougher. on a happier note, i am waiting to hear back about my interview. i was proud of myself for using my portfolio (what i had done at the time) and for feeling comfortable. well...i was comfortable a few questions after i totally answered a question wrong!!! hehe. i was nervous and didn't understand what they were asking so i talked about cooperative learning. come to find out they ment collaboration with teachers. but i had things in my portfolio to show for both of them. other than that, i felt like it was a good interview, but you just never know.
