Last 8 months of school

Posted by Zerok - September 10th, 2010


Ever! After like, 7 years in post secondary and 12-13 years in grade school, the education train's caboose is here. Maybe one day I'll get another Master's or PhD or something... but right now I'm antsy to start this "real life" stuff that I've been slowly easing myself into. A career... a house... those things.

It looks like it's going to be the busiest school year ever though. I dunno if this will better prepare me for the working world or not. I guess it depends on the pace of the industry I find myself in. Anyway it works out to be an effective 6 courses with a bunch of extra curricular stuff thrown in like running and eventually selling my little consulting firm, greasin' the wheels for the job search and a spattering of volunteer gigs, networking and opportunity scouting.

I'm sure I will find solace in NG from time to time. This place seems to never change (despite the annual assertions that it was better 2-3 years ago) and there is a certain amount of comfort one can get from that.

Wish me luck.

School? Let's do this: one last dance.

So will you stay on NG after?

Well I won't delete my account! It's always nice to relax and spend a few hours on the BBS especially when you get some good convos rolling.

What university do you go to? I'm at Dalhousie right now.

The same one! Unless there's some other Dalhousie you go to.

What're you taking? I should ask this in PM since this reply is months late.

:3

Grass is always greener, I'm afraid. Real life gets old fast. Good luck with your last year : b

It's been tough getting into the rhythm of this semester. And it's almost over already! I think I'm ready to start that career-y stuff. Set a new pace and probably leave this town.
