Hi, everyone! Things got somewhat hectic for me over the past two weeks, so I apologize for not keeping you updated on what is going on in my life! However, as of 6:22p.m. today (Monday, May 6), I am officially done with all my responsibilities as a master's student in the Higher Education program here at Penn GSE!!! I can't believe this is it!!
At this very specific moment, things are still surreal to me. Other than being super excited and relieved that I have completed all the academic assignments, I don't really know how else I am feeling. Lots of emotions are swirling inside, but I need some time to calm down before being able to verbalize them and share with you.
My parents are already here (traveling all the way from China) waiting to attend my graduation ceremonies this coming Saturday and next Monday! My husband is more than thrilled at this point that I am done with all my papers and presentations, so that I can start spending some long lost quality time with him. And I am more than grateful to everyone who has given me support, encouragement, and love during this intense one year!
This is my last official post as a master's student in the program, but I will continue to use this space to share this past year's experience with you and let you know how everything is going with my job search.
Thank you all very much for reading my blog and sharing this journey with me! I have met many of you in person, and look forward to staying connected with you in other ways as well. Please feel free to email me at xixim@gse.upenn.edu
All the best to you with everything you do!
Xixi
