Whoa
I just finished my last final exam as an undergraduate student yesterday. We had a grad banquet over a week ago. (I even made a toast) I'm ordering grad photos. I'm planning for convocation. People are throwing parties. I'm leaving a job in 3 days. I'm looking for a place to live. This... doesn't quite seem real. :)
I started my Bachelor's in Computing Science at the University of Alberta almost 9 years ago. Some time out to work, both in and out of my field, and some time at another school (Grant Macewan) bringing my grades up enough to get back here. Countless new friends, new opportunities, and new plans. I find I cannot quite wrap my head around the concept of it being done.
Maybe it's because I'm going back to school in a couple weeks to spend the summer on a research project with a professor I respect greatly. Maybe it's because I'll be hanging out and working with a lot of the same friends. And maybe, just maybe, it's because I'll be spending the next 2 years or so at the same University with the same people anyways doing a Master's.
One thing's for sure. I'm happy. I think it's going to take a while to appreciate just what it was I finally accomplished this week (maybe untill I actually get that piece of paper in a little over a month), but for the moment I'm happy, if a little light-headed.
Whee!
