three years of hard work

Three years of hard work have come to an end.
Finally my master's thesis in now handed in, OFF MY SHOULDERS!
I can't quite realized it yet. In a few days when I will think about the work I have to do on my thesis and realize that there is none, that's when I will know.
It has been a valuable experience. It tested me in more than one ways.
My emotional strength for one. I know have more than I ever thought.
I could have never do it on my own of course. The one person who really helped my plow through this is process is my fiance...I love you.
But, then, my friend Ruth helped me a lot since she knows how grad school works.
I have a Master of Arts degree! Who would have thought!
I sometimes look at my work and think that there is no way that I am the writer of this scientific text in a language other than my native!
I am proud of myself and it is not often that I say this!
Mom, I wish you were here to celebrate with me.
Dad, thanks for the vote of confidence when I needed the most.

φοβάμαι....είναι φυσιολογικό?
σήμερα παντρεύομαι για πρώτη φορά...αυτός ο γάμος θα είναι μικρός, διαδικαστικός...
κανείς από όλους εσας δε θα σταθεί δίπλα μου
όλοι θα περιμένουν τη πρωτη μέρα του φθινωπορινού μήνα
αλλά σήμερα...κανείς
είμαι χαρούμενη αλλά και μελαγχολική
είμαι πλαισιωμένη απ' ανθρώπους όμορφους, δυναμικούς
κι όμως σήμερα θα μου λείψουν οι συγγενείς....
κάτι έχει αυτός ο ιούλης
ένα αεράκι δημιουργίας απαλύνει την κάψα του ήλιου στα πρόσωπά μας...
μου λείπετε πολύ...
