Its funny to look at the time…

Filed Under School, The history of me 

I keep looking up at my calendar in disbelief… As of now, I have three weeks of school left. Well, three weeks of undergrad education left, and then I’m done. And then after another three weeks, I’ll be walking across a stage in a cap and gown, accepting a diploma, and then doing the same thing that afternoon for another diploma. One after the other.

I’ve been going to UCF for about 7 years now. My first day was actually August 20, 2001, which coincided with my sister’s 14th birthday. And at this point, I was an engineering major. I had planned to take calculus and chemistry and a bunch of other classes. As folks know, calculus and chemistry didn’t sit well with me that semester, and after failing both, I switched my major to English in Spring 2002. I started taking a few education classes in the Fall of 2002, and continued with that for a short while. And just as I neared graduation, I added an official minor in General Business. After this, I changed that minor to a second major in Accounting, and then a year later after failing half of the classes and doing mediocre in the other half of them, I was kicked out of the accounting school. Then, in Fall 2007, I switched that over to a Management degree, and now three semesters of that track, and I’m finally able to walk.

And on August 2nd, I’ll be walking twice: English Creative Writing and Human Resources Management.

It took me damn well long enough to get here, and I’m going to relish the moments as I can.

Of course, I still have three more weeks of Capstone, but that’s just an aside…
