Have miracles ceased?

I would say a legitimate fear that I have had for about the last year and a half (which ironically is the same time I entered the MSW program) is not graduating. Actually, I often have nightmares about forgetting to turn in my homework, or missing school, or just being told that I cannot graduate. Scary I know! I think I am most afraid of investing time, money, and energy and receiving nothing in the end.

In general I feel pretty confident in most aspects of school - theories, application, law, working with various populations, testing, writing papers, etc. I strongly feel inadequate though when in comes to statistics and research. It's especially difficult to feel like a rookie around abunch of brilliant allstar statisticians. In my mind I felt like the only thing that realistically could hold me back from graduating is failing my research and statistics courses which is heavily graded on my research paper.

I have grown a love/hate relationship with this paper (mostly hate) and after putting in about a year and half's time, effort, and energy I finally turned in my paper and received a grade. Ladies and gents, boys and girls, I got an A!!!! Actually an A- but still nonetheless I got an A! and I passed!

Have miracles ceased? I say unto you NAY! Good bye nightmares, hello graduation! :)
