graduation speech

I'm done! As in, I've finally graduated from college. Took me long enough, right? Only 11 years. And yet it kind of flew by. Funny thing is I made homework like a habit. I knew it had to be done and I prepared to do it each night and weekend. Now what do I do? It's a hard feeling to explain. I can hardly do nothing, because I haven't done that in awhile. It's one thing to avoid doing something, then actually doing nothing. Know what I mean? I've been making plans to vacation and even a few big life changing goals. It's only been a few weeks, so I've been organizing and sorting through stuff.

I would have to say that it was a good education. There were some great classes and a few crappy professors (even a friend who is a teach would agree to that). The wonderful part is that a few awesome friends helped me out. I don't just mean support, they actually helped me. I was able to get research I never would have found, write a paper when I didn't know where to start, and even just a look over homework to insure it was correct. My dad and I had chats on the phone about accounting class, he was a bit surprised how tough the questions were.

Over the past few days I've been updating my profile information on web sites. I can finally say I've graduated. Even updating my resume. Also got a few cards in the mail from family, totally unexpected, but still hugely appreciated.

Now I guess I have to get a job and join the real working-class world. Oh wait, I'm already here. :)
