I don’t have to do homework again. Ever again.
I’ve been a student since the summer of 2003, and I won’t lie. I didn’t study every weekend, but I always felt like I should. The stress of being in school doesn’t come from the time studying, but the time spent thinking about studying. The things to read, projects to do, and so on.

My final class presentations was this past Thursday. We met from 7 - 8:30 or so, then went out to Gordon Biersch for a few celebratory beers. I followed that up with more parties the last two days. I had the HR department holiday party on Friday, then the Mission Fed party on Saturday. Today I’ve been home all day, and am actually baking a pumpkin pie. (I know. I can’t believe it either)

Today it really hit me. I don’t have to do anything but work from this point on. Last Saturday, I finished my two projects for the sekester, the electronic portfolio, and personal knowledge management system. When I finished my PKMS on del.icio.us I was so happy I wrote a blog post calling myself a “Master of the University”- like the intellectual He-Man that I’ve become.

Now I’m home realizing it’s all over, after 8 semesters I can really relax, enjoy the holidays and look forward to not enrolling again in January. No homework at all in 2007!
