It Starts With A Degree

Some of us have been asking me when is the next blog being posted. I would assume that some of us missed me over the last 14 weeks. Well here's what I have been doing. Believe it or not, I've spent 14 weeks trying to find an introduction that would rock this world, lure the readers and hook them for life (awesome isn't it?). Sadly though, I have failed. I remember having such an introduction earlier this week but I decided to hold it off for the time I write. Then school hit and I forgot...*tear* Now don't you fret, nor don't you frown. I still forgot the introduction I failed to write down. The moral of this story is that not every story has a moral really.

I started my final year on Monday. After a restful, rejuvenating, and relaxing 14 weeks of pure vacation, which included boredom, beach and travelling, I was ready to go to school and end it all - rather finish. On Monday I was excited. I was smiling, I was laughing and my face was glowing. Who wouldn't be? When May comes I will be out, only to return in October next year for my release papers. On Tuesday, however, I realised a very interesting fact: if I don't pass, I won't leave. Making it to final year is a good achievement but graduating is the real goal.

Many times over the last semester, when I realised that I was on my way out, I thought that it would be smooth sailing to the end. I could run on momentum and the university would give me my degree once I showed up for class. In movies it goes like this: the hard part is ahead of me and the scene fades and I'm at graduation. What movies fail to show is what happened between the hard part and the end. But I write my story so let's see what happens when the screen goes black.

As per usual, I had classes this week. Each class began with a fifteen minute introduction of the course and the rest of the time was spent teaching.

In many ways I feel like I'm in first year.  Almost everything is seems new. I feel washed off completely and ready to take this new opportunity to do well.

That's pretty much it for now. Work calls and I must answer.
