I got my cap and gown today.

I feel a little silly walking in a graduation ceremony for an associates degree.

I am proud that I have earned it, I just know that this is a step, not the final destination. In the Fall I will resume my education at the University of Minnesota. I feel a bit like a fraud participating in a commencement ceremony when I am not yet done with school.

I was working on some of my required online transfer surveys. Although I stated that my intended major was history the program recommended journalism as a second or alternative major. My time at The Campus Eye must’ve had more of an impact than I realised.

I have really loved the people I have met. I have really hated some of the bureaucracy involved with trying to write a story that might mean something. But mostly I feel lucky to have been able to work with professors that care and students that push themselves.

This has become my new normal. Next year will flip the table and I will have to set up the pieces again.
