After 20 and a half years of school, I am finally completely finished with my formal education! I'll graduate from the University of Florida tomorrow with my Master's in Computer Engineering, the accumulation of 5 and a half years of college. And to think I first started this site back in high school, and it's still kicking around. I've had senorities the last few weeks/months/year so I can't wait to never have homework, or study for finals, again. But I will miss sleeping in until noon and really in the end having more free time than I probably will when working. And it's hard saying goodbye to the many many friends I've made over the years and become so close to. But with cheap airfare and couches, no one's ever too far away these days.
Now I'm going to take a month to sort through all the stuff I've accumulated the last 23 years (and hey, that might mean the website is updated more often than just once a month), and decide what to take to Austin, what to leave with my parents, and what to toss out. Then I'm planning a trip to DC and NYC for a week each in late January, and then off to Austin at the start of February to start the next chapter of my life.
Slate has a very interesting article about why women aren't CEO's, and while there has been lots of progress in gender equality, there is still more work to be done. It's kind of like racism: the blatant offensive stuff is pretty much no longer an issue, but it's the latent more subversive stuff that still lingers on and might take yet another generation to eradicate completely.
Don't have enough friends on MySpace? Luckly there's Fake Your Space to help you out. And again humanity reaches new lows.
It's also getting to that time of the year with "Best Of 2006" lists, and here is Time's Pictures of the Year.
It's also only 11 more days till Christmas, but it just doesn't feel like it at all. I've been so busy with school that there is nary a single Christmas thing around my apartment. I'll have to work on that once I get back to my parent's house.
