The Spring semester is coming to an end. I am very, very, very excited about this. This has been one of the more time consuming semesters in recent memory. It has required a lot of reading. Which I have done — for the most part. Once this semester is done, the Summer semester will begin on May 9th. I am hoping to be able to take four (4) classes during the summer. If I can do that then I will be on track to graduate in December of this year. At the latest I will graduate in the Spring semester of 2008.

This has been a long time coming. I started college in 1996, the summer. Through many missed days and failed classes, I have made my way here — the light at the end of the tunnel. I am not ashamed to have taken so long to graduate. I was at one point, but I realize that it was for a reason.

I had a great talk with a close friend last night (who is, for the most part, in the same college career boat that I am in). We talked about how fast these years have gone by and the lessons that we have learned. It was a good time of reflection and hope for the future.

I have plans for my life after graduation. I don’t know where they will lead me, but I am excited to be able to get on with them.

Greg.
