The end is near

I just finished my final university paper EVER!! ooooo, this is a dear diary moment people. However, I don't think this one really counts as a paper, as it's a take-home exam. Plus this is one of my weaker papers - far less creative then my usual standard. But he handed out the topics literally 30 minutes after I handed in my research paper which I slaved over for a month, so my enthusiasm had dwindled quite substatially. I will consider my Into the Woods paper my last paper, because I'm quite proud of it, and this my last exam, since it kind of sucks.

But, back the important bit: I'm GRADUATING! Yes, after 18 years of school, this girl is taking a year off! Unless I get into the Stratford school .... right. Hey, miracles happen everyday! Now I have to measure my head, fill out the rental forms for the cap and gown, and get ready for the looooong graduation ceremony. Oh, and pay the fee. Damn, they just have to give you one last kick out the door, eh? "So, you're graduating with an BAH, have no savings, and no "real job" to go into ... How about giving us MORE money." Jerks! I think education should be free for everyone! I say if you can maintain a c+ or B average, you shouldn't have to pay tuition. Who's with me?

If you read the editorials in the Free Press today, you'd have read about the upcoming conference that the UofW's Global College is hosting which will tackle the many issues surrounding child soldiers in August of 2006. Lloyd Axworthy says the college "serves as a dynamic catalyst for new ideas, critical thinking and open discourse on issues of global significance affecting our local and global communities."
