Chapter Complete

As I sit in the library to check my school email, I realize that later today, May 10, 2019, I will be done with my undergraduate. Those 4 years were something special, as they should have. Technically, I have until 6:30 PM and then I will officially done with it. Time flies.

This has been very long. I got home Sunday, had an interview Tuesday, get together yesterday, and graduation today. That's so much change to happen in 4-5 months. Time waits for no one.

VCU, it's been a pleasure. Real world, pleasure to meet you. I've heard so much about you.

How do I feel? Excited. Happy. Eager. Nervous. But I don't think that I should be feeling any other way. It's been a long time coming for this moment.

Houdini

MOVE WITH ME, YOU MOVE CAUTION...

THE DAY HAS COME!

I AM HEADING HOME.

HOW DO I FEEL?

UNA MEZCLA DE EMOCIONES.

ME SIENTO ALEGRE, UN POQUITO TRISTE, EMOCIONADO...

Time to start a new chapter in this thing called "life". I graduate on the 10th. VCU has been really stingy about tickets this year because there are "more people graduating" than they expected. I call BS, but that's none of my business. I don't know how I am going to disseminate this information to the hoard of people (actually like 3-4 other people) that I said I could get a ticket for.

ANYWAY, I have an interview for a job that I really have set my eyes on for the last month a few days after I get back. The best part is that it's in DC! The hiring manager graduated from VCU about 4 years ago also, so at least I have that going for me. Hoping for the best...

What else is there? Maybe I'll work at Rumors part time until I hear back from all of the places that I applied for. There's a house show on the 9th that will commemorate Cary Street Garage (RIP, shout-out Caween and Kaelin). Other than that, I am finally done with undergrad! What a time to be alive. Our unemployment rate is the lowest since 1969 according to the NYT (3.6% unemployment rate). I guess that's something to look forward to (I guess.......).


same shit new hat in 2025

2024 was -- happy, sad, bad, glad, great, late, efficient, debilitating. These words that kinda rhyme-ish don't do justice to how chaoti...
