Last First Day of School
My 19 year journey, leading from kindergarten at William Southern Elementary School in Independence, Missouri through to Masters’ studies at the University of San Francisco is on its last leg.
Today I had the first class of what should be my last semester. I’m amost done. I’m almost a master. You will be calling me Master Ryan.
Anway, I’m taking two interesting, if different courses– Human Computer Interaction and Parallel and Distributed Computing. Two ends of the spectrum in my degree, but both interesting.

The somewhat unexpected thing about getting a Masters degree is that nobody’s actually starting to call you a Master. You just hang somewhere in-between, not quite an ordinary graduate, not quite a Doctor.

Congrats man! It’s exciting when you are almost done!!
Then you have to wake up and get a “career job!”
Good Luck!

Hey there. Today was my My Last First Day Of School.
It’s weird. I’m guessing your already graduated, which is even weirder, but even cooler. Congradulations on surviving in school.
