Thoughts on Graduation

So this is my last week of classes as an undergrad. It doesn't seem quite real yet. I suppose that is just because it has been such a long time coming. I feel like there should be more. How long? lets see..

Approximate start date: Aug. 15, 1998.

Time Elapsed: 5000 Days


That's a lot of time.


  • 13 years, 8 months, 8 days
  • 714 weeks
  • 120,000 hours
  • 7,200,000 minutes
  • 432,000,000 seconds
I have been pondering where I go from here. I of course plan to have a job, and I will be getting married in a couple months. That much is known, but what else. I have a sense that my days of education are not yet over. It is possible I will get a job that I really like and not want to go back to school, but right now I just feel like I am incomplete as far as my education goes. Perhaps I will seek out a job that will help me move towards that desire. Right now I do know I am ready to move forward. I have been in kind of a holding pattern for years, and it feels great to be able to say that I will finally be done.

I have met a lot of great people along the way, and seen a lot happen. And now.. I'm ready for a nap.
