Thesis submitted!

Today was day 5!

I feel great. I feel empowered...

Time to celebrate tomorrow with my 2 other peers who will have finished their theses as well!

(I'll make an exception for this, as I promised special occasions were okay) :))))

As I finish editing my thesis.

Sometimes I look back at the experience of grad school and wonder...


How the hell was I able to finish grad school in 2 years????

With all of the boozing, partying, and stupidness that I went through... How did this happen?

Well, at least I was one of the first to graduate in my program. It was a hell of an experience.

*Day 4 of sobriety.* Clear minded and happy again. :)

Dad.

The one who I dream of being like.
The one who I wish I had a chance to know.
1/2 of my story -- I'm his only child.
I'm the only person carrying the family genes.
My Dad would have certainly achieved greatness...
He's what I inspire to be today.
I wish I could see my Dad one more time.
Have one last hug. I wish I could have been there for him.
I wish I could have taken care of the very person who cared for me so much.

I miss you and love you, Dad.

Is it working?

I really need to learn how to manage my life better.

I know what I have the potential to do. I just need to prove to myself that I CAN do it. and I know what I need to do to get there.

Don't let yourself down. Raymond.


^^^^This is what I tell myself all the time...

It will be a while...
