I say that, because I've only had the game for a week. Holy cow eh? But that's not the topic of today's entry. Today we're talking about graduation, round 2.

Today marks the beginning of the final week of classes. After Friday all focus will be on my three finals, which almost appropriately enough scale up in difficulty. One a day starting Monday and finishing Wednesday. What does this all mean? Well, as of noon on Wednesday May 9th I will no longer be a student at Minnesota State, Mankato. All that will be left to do is graduate and I'll be on my way to the "real world" I've heard people referring to for the last 16 years of schooling.

After talking with my friends and family, I've decided I'm not walking with my classmates this time around. It was a bigger deal when I made it through high school, as that was the beginning of my independent life. But this time, it just feels like I'm going through the motions. The only reason I would have done it would have been for my parents, but they have been the most vocal in suggesting I save the money and just have some fun that day instead.

Another turn off? Com Sci majors graduate at 9 am Saturday May 12th. Look at that again. Nine in the morning on a Saturday. That'd essentially mean I'd have to sit on my hands Friday night so I wasn't completely burned out Saturday morning. Nah, I'd rather hang out with my friends one last time before I move out and start my big boy 9-5 lifetime grind.
