Tomorrow is my last final exam for close to nine months. It will be testing my knowledge of Economics 355: Transportation Economics. After this exam, I will have about 1.2 final projects to finish by Friday. After that, Spring Break in Naples, Florida, Saturday to Saturday. That following Monday I start my new co-op job at S&C Electric in their Fuse Products Division. It's rather exciting to be leaving the academic world for six months (I said nine earlier because I start my next academic quarter in six months, and it will therefore be nine months till my next final exam).
I haven't had a complete break from academics since the summer of 2004. That's a long time ago. This past summer I was taking two classes and doing research forty hours a week. That's about as involved in academia as I ever want to be or plan to be for the rest of my life.
Yeah, in summary, school sucks, but quite soon I'll have a nice long break from it. Of course I'm sort of putting it off, forcing myself to stay an extra year. But at the same time, I'm getting out into the "real" world sooner. Eh.
