| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i do not want what i haven't got? And I'll admit that I'm jealous of all my classmates who are graduating next month. I am envious when they talk about completed theses and caps and gowns and celebratory parties. It stings a little when I survey the list of students who will read at the end-of-the-year MFA gathering and realize I know 20 of the 27 names and, yes, I feel a little left out. I could read next spring but I won't really know very many people. And I should just be happy that I'm graduating in December (if everything goes well) and that it will only take me two-and-a-half years to get this degree as opposed to the three or three-and-a-half that I initially thought it would take. And I should be happy that I've done this while working full time. And I should not look at my classmates and be jealous of all the extra "fun" classes they got to take (Book Arts! 15th century Medieval poetry!) I should stop thinking of all I do not have, all I have not done, and simply focus on the here, the now and what is before me. But it is so damn hard. 12:02 pm - 04.24.04
