My Big Day

Today is the day of my graduation. Its finally here. After three years of toil, it is finally here. Its amazing to think how quickly the time has flow and the sheer volume of emotions I've gone through in, what seems now to be, a very short time. It seems like not along ago that I looked ahead in the yearbook at the third year subjects in awe and reverence. Now they are merely striked-out names; spent means to an end.

On Saturday they published the names of the people who would be graduating in the newspaper. There were names there that I didn't expect to be there and there were names that should have been there, but weren't. I think that is when it became real for me: what I had achieved and how lucky and blessed I am to be where I am. It is an honour and a privilege. It is still joke to consider us skilled in our respective fields (that is what yet further education and work experience is for), but in the end we are a little smarter, a little brighter and, hopefully, a little wiser than when we were when we started out.

But, today is not only my graduation, but also the one year anniversary of Michelle and I going out! Thank you so much for everything babes! I miss you and I'll see you soon. ;-)

I best get to bed; tomorrow is going to be a long, busy day.
