adjust the bass and let the alpine blast. so i am graduated. or perhaps the past tense is not correct. i am graduating. as in, by my very poor and meager calculations, i have enough credits to graduate. finally. i will no longer be taking any classes at the undergraduate level. barring of course, my not actually graduating. i need to figure out some paperwork, work through some transfers, email here, snail mail there, be responsible everywhere, and then i think i will have a degree. a little piece of a paper that announces my ability to accomplish something in life. i, jonathan yang, will have a college degree. three years "late", but i will have one. then again, i could be totally wrong and my credits could be all fucked up and i may actually not be graduating. which would seem par for the course because there must be something wrong with my calculations.



i think i'll actually miss taking classes. at least at the leisurely two classes per week pace i've been taking them. with that kind of academic schedule, there is very little stress and very little pressure (not that i had much of it beforehand). i actually get to learn things and feel like i'm taking something out of a classroom. and the classes i've been taking at ucsd have been fun. and i have a friend in most of my classes, which helps for motivation to actually attend classes. i don't think i've missed more than two classes this entire quarter. and people say old dogs can't learn new tricks...



i'm also thinking about taking some classes just for kicks. to extend my education. because learning does not stop outside the classroom kids. learning is a life long journey. sounds like some hokey slogan they made up in middle school for us impressionable kids to remember doesn't it? for now however, i will be undertaking the enormous responsibility of working the computer full time for our company. i'll have set hours and a salary and everything. our boy's all growns up, he's all growns up! not quite. this is only temporary for a month or two. then we'll see what happens. but for the moment, so long school, hello nine in the morning.
