1/2 semester before graduation; hard to say goodbye

Feb 09, 2006 02:38

So,

Whats happening with me...hmmm, i figured Id post a meaningful post this time around, not just another party annoucement. I realized that those I never thought would appreciate me, actually appreciates me more than ever...especially some in the organization I use to lead. On the other hand...those that were their to see my acheivements and what I did with the organization does not appreciate anything I've done.

I also realize that as of reading week, I have 1\2 a semester left before I graduate from Glendon with a stupid piece of paper called a Degree, and moveon to whatever life brings me... With grad school, looking for jobs and the heat of assignments, I dont even have time to sit and obsorb the fact that the past 4 years have been the most accomplished years of my life. Despite the tragic loses, I pulled through. I left home the worst way possible family wise, lost my mother along the way, my extended family turned their back on me, and they all came running back a few months later. I took on a leadership role, ran in an election, moved out of University rez and lived right in the BIG SMOKE, 2 different addresses I called my own, and finally, had some of the greatest parties ive ever been to.

I travelled to Europe on my own backpacking just the way i like it. Came back with a new look on life, it really affected my attitude, Im no longer as stressed out, although school doesnt help it much... I want to go back to bad, and I have a new found appreciation for this world.

One thing is forsure, all these years have made me realize one thing. I will miss Glendon soooo much, the people, and everything. In high school and Europe, I knew all my friends would go home or finish soon after I left.... but at Glendon, I still have friends from 1st-4th year...so I know I have something to leave behind. I miss the beautiful campus, I will miss everyhting I am complaining about now.

I know I will be welcome back, but if I do grad school and all, the tragedy is I might actually forget and moveon from this and leave this part of my life behind forever. Just like I left Edmonton and Markham forever, I will be leaving Glendon and possibly Toronto forever.
