ever closer to zero scholastic debt

I just sent $5000 to my US bank account.  The wire transfer will process within 24 hours, and right after that, I'll send the same $5000 to my Navient account (Navient manages my scholastic debt).  Next month, I'll have only $1200 to send in order to zero out my debt, and that, my friends, will be that.  Twenty years of agony, finally behind me.  Now that I'm old and gray, it's about time I celebrated something good happening in my life, yes?  Not that my life has been miserable up to now—I've obviously enjoyed my long walks, my time with friends and family, and many other things—but this financial burden has pressed upon me like an invisible weight for so long, now, that I'm not sure I'll know what to do with myself when I'm finally free of scholastic debt.  Actually, that's not completely true:  I've still got a few thousand dollars' worth of credit-card debt that'll need to be paid down, but that debt barely registers in my consciousness because I know it can be paid off quickly and easily.  My credit rating ought to be pretty close to 850 (a perfect score) by the time both the scholastic and credit-card debts get paid off.  I'm in the mid-700s right now, which is roughly a "B" or "B+" grade according to the credit-reporting service I consult.  All that is about to change for the much, much better.
