My college career is really ending...

So, yesterday at 3:00 pm, I took my second to last midterm EVER. Now that's a weird feeling. After 3+ years of taking classes and studying for exams it's strange to realize that soon there will be no more homework, no more midterms and no more finals. In just a few months, I will never again sit in a class room with my fellow students, take notes while a professor shares his/her knowledge, nor worry about grades of A, B or C. In just a few months I'll be working with co-workers, not fellow students, and presenting to my boss instead of a professor. My work will no longer be judged with grades, but new responsibilities and promotions.

Just a random thought...
