One week and counting...

I have jumped on the bandwagon, writing away my thoughts for all to see via on the online, so enjoy.  I suppose it is a good way for me to get back to writing, which I enjoyed throughout high school, but just don't seem to have the time or effort for as much as in the past.

Essentially, within the next week my life will be taking a drastic plunge into reality; I will be graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology, after five long hard-fought years.  At 23, I will have a credible degree, steady start to my career, and living at home, in Cleveland, for the time being.  I am fortunate that my hard work has seemingly paid off.

Emotions are running wild, to be honest; I am happy and sad, excited and nervous, confident and anxious.  A decent mix, I think, that I suppose everyone goes through at this time of their lives.  I made a lot of good friends and accomplishments at RIT, and will be sad to leave them behind, but I am also positive they will keep in touch and those relationships will be kept strong for years to come.

Right now I am taking a slight break from composing my senior design project's final presentation for tomorrow afternoon.  Tomorrow at this time, I will be nothing more than a lame duck graduate...

WOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
