So Long...

The last class of my undergraduate collegiate career ended at 12:51 pm EST. Its but another in a series of realizations that my time left at my home of the past 4 years is quite limited.

Finals week. I got one of Friday, a paper due on Tuesday and not one but two finals on the last day of finals (Thursday). Then I plan to go see Spiderman III after partaking of a generous dinner put on by the Biology Dept faculty and then I walk.

As a complete side note, complements to Morgan Brown, a muskie whose self recorded music i acquired through the grapevine and I am quite digging at the moment.

Back to leaving, I moved almost completely out this past weekend, and my room is vacant. Its almost depressing to look at the empty drawers and closet and unburdened tv stand and think that I have lived here for a year, and only for another two weeks. I'd probably feel worse if I was in my old room at sinfo. That was my home for 3 semester, and could have been 5.

I will not miss the classes, but I will miss the people and the places, the professors that care and the friends that were always there, the rooms that i learned in and the places that i lived. College, despite its downs and frustrations, excelled in the goods and greats and life. I think I truly found life here. I look forward to seeing where I go from here and I hope to come back long and often, but if not, I will always have that mark of Black and Magenta on me.

So Long Muskingum, and thanks for all the fish

What a great and thoughtful post. It's a nice reflection of your time. I'm sure you could have posted gobs more, but this was nice and short. Your memories of Muskingum will stay with you for a lifetime.
