ak3ldama's Journal: Graduation

I am not sure how to say this, not necessarily because I care about how others feel, but because I am not sure how I feel. I finally graduated from the university. I say finally because I was supposed to last year, but had to take two classes yet this spring. I say I am not sure how I feel because ... because I don't really feel different. I am glad I now have a Computer Science 'B.S.' degree, but that's about it.

It feels good to not let down family; who wants to get mostly through an education and not finish? It feels good to make my dad happy. But my mom never finished college, she doesn't talk about how it all happened but i think my parents met at some point and she left school for one reason or another. My dad talks about the past much more than my mom. Maybe it is a father-son thing, where he can talk about it, just as if we were sitting around fishing and chatting about anything. Back on subject ... I guess the main thing is that it is hard to realize that now the next phase of my life has to begin. Maybe now I will get back to coding more often, and reading more (like I did before I went to college.)

Anyways, raise a toast, hurra!

Huzzah!

Even though you don't recognize the benefits now, you will eventually. It wasn't until some years later that I realized that what college did more than anything else was teach me how to use my intellect. At least that's my $.02;-)

Congrats!

Following through with it and getting your degree is something I doubt you'll ever regret.

Congratulations!
