Graduation

It's hard for me to believe that I am actually graduated from college. I graduated from high school 8 years ago (yes you read that right...8 years). Subtracting the time for my mission it took me 6 1/2 years to get a bachelors degree. I feel a bit like Chris Farley's character on Tommy Boy (Tommy: "a lot of people go to school for seven years" -- Richard: "I know, they're called doctors"). But at least I finally finished! It was a LOT of hard work, 18 hour days at the Clarke building, all-nighters, projects that seemed to never end. The bright side of it all was the friendships I developed with my classmates. We bonded over late-night drafting, studying for ridiculous tests, and complaining about certain teachers (you all know who I'm talking about!). So thanks to any of you who are reading this, for your friendship and support through the years. Good luck with all of your future pursuits and please keep in touch!
