Done and Done (Yay me!)

I finished all my exams and it is rumoured that I passed all my courses so I'm done...for real this time. I still find it hard to believe that I've finished a university degree. I feel like I should be going back to school next year but I guess now it's time to join the real world and get a job.

I guess all the luck I've been having ran out yesterday after my last exam because my car broke down yesterday on the way to a friend's house to help her with her taxes. The block and thermostat are shot and it needs a bunch of other tune up stuff done so something like $725 worth of work is getting done today. Hopefully I'll have it back tonight but you never know. I would have liked to go to the driving range today but without a car and with snow once again falling to the ground outside, that's looking a little unlikely. I supposed I'll just have to sit inside and play video games and look for a job. Oh well.

The Season is upon us

It's that time of year again...golf season has begun. I guess it kind of began for me last week at the driving range but I never feel quite right until the first actual round is done. And in that case I don't know if that is even acurate since we only played 9 holes(well 9 + a few more). I managed to shoot a respectable 10 over on the first 9. Not quite as good as my 2 over from last years first 9 and a far cry from my first round of 86 last year but I'll take it. It's been so nice out lately that half of my free time has been spent thinking about getting out on the course so I'm glad I managed to do it this afternoon. I'll probably get a full round in next weekend sometime but until then, I have to study and finish up my last exam.

So if anyone wants a partner for a round starting next week, I'm there. Guess it's time to get to bed so I can get up early and study...ha ha, right.

Two exams to go

Well I finished my final paper for my Organizational Analysis class and did my Marketing test today so I am now only two tests away from finishing my university degree (if all goes as planned). I have the big test tomorrow in my computing logic and formal systems class but once that's done I think the stress will decline a bunch. I think the stress is responsible for the cold (cough, headache, and stuffy nose) but it could also be all the coughing that Kelsey did last week in class...hmm. Now if only I could get rid of these knots in my shoulders...any offers for a massage (girls only please Jay)?

Well I'd better get a few more hours of studying done before I crash for the night and get some much needed rest. Time to turn back on the Less Than Jake studying music...

If you need, somewhere to go
I'll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you,
I'll let you know I will."

I'M DONE!!

Well, my last class is done and I've spent my time in the beer gardens (not as much as I want mind you, since I have to finish my paper). Just walking around today has had a strange feeling to it. I've spent the last 5, well 4 not including the year in Ottawa, at the U of A and it feels kind of bitter sweet to be done. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be done, I don't know if I could take another year right now, but it's also kind of sad. I'm going to miss the people I've met and the general atmosphere at the university. I really enjoy just hanging around campus and I'll miss the student life as hectic as it can be sometimes. These last five years have been totally crazy and I've seen my life (and myself) change a thousand times. From my time with Kathryn and learning about the world outside of the little town of Devon, Alberta, to spending over a year in Ottawa working at a real job and growing up a little, I feel like I've come a long way. I guess I have (if this is getting a little corny I apologize but I'm feeling nostalgic right now). So to all of those that have entered my life and those that have stood by me in the last few years, I thank you. I am proud and happy with who I have become and I have all of you to thank for that. I can only hope that I continue to learn and grow as I venture out into the real world.

Now, does anyone have a job for me so I actually can venture out into the real world or am I going to be stuck in Devon all summer golfing and looking for work?

Wow it's been a while

Well this is one of the longest times I've gone without a post. I've just been busy finishing up school that I've neglected to sit down and update anyone. Lately all of my time, when I'm not wasting it, has been going towards my software management paper. I keep finding something else that I think should be covered so I make more work for myself. Hopefully in the end it comes out better because of the extra work but I guess we'll wait and see.

Hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of classes for me...ever. Well at least for this degree anyway (if I pass all my courses). It's been a crazy 5 years. I'll post more tomorrow when I'm done class but for now I should try to finish that paper.
