Alumni Status!
That’s right folks, somehow five years later I have managed to graduate RIT with a BS in Interactive Development. I was quick to switch my TCBN status to “Alumni” (via Control Panel>My Info) now that I’m finally free of the bonds of education (although the student loans will linger for quite some time).
In general it was all pretty surreal, after being in school for 5 years and being used to an endless stream of papers, projects, presentations, quizzes and exams day in and day out, now suddenly its all over. Done with. In my field masters degrees aren’t as benficial as some other fields so I plan on staying away from school for at least the next few years. I have a job lined up in D.C., where I’ve been working the past 6 years or so and I’m excited to finally get in and be working in the office (as opposed to the telecommuting I usually do).
I’ll be moving from NY down to MD and although I’m gonna miss the college life and my boys in NY, I know we will keep in touch so I’m not worried. I am very pleased to be leaving the gloom that is upstate NY for 8/12 months every year and covered with treacherous pathways they seem to call roads (responsible for 4 bent rims, 1 busted axle, and a blown lower ball joint), and some of the worst drivers in America hands down. So sunny MD with its blue skies, four season, and smooth roads is a welcome change.
I still have a bit of backed up work I have been meaning to post up [on this blog], that will be up soon as I now have some lounging time for the first time in what feels like ages. I also will be devoting a large portion of my time to upgrades, advances and new features for The College Blog Network. I have been meaning to redesign it to be easier to read and more interactive but these last few weeks of school had me truly “under the gun”. Now that I’m free I hope to pick up the pace on those improvements.
That’s it for now, expect more frequent posts and cool new TCBN features soon (if you found this through blogwire). But for now, I must get back to relaxin’… oh the joys of life after college
