The Most Anticipated Goodbye

If I was mimicking a particular comedian with my "bitterface" grimace, let me know.

   
   
      A journey that spanned for nearly a decade with misfortune and triumph, is finally over. I can reflect on much of the good that was offered to me at Broward College. Admittedly, there was a time where maybe this day wouldn't come and neither would much of the jubilation that comes with accomplishing something as big as getting a Journalism degree. Unfortunately, the market options for a writer are small, but I can make something, requiring that I test my versatility; but, honestly, I don't feel like this is daunting at all, really. I have some concerns about dealing with the technical aspects of the industry, as some things can seem to be complex, but you deal with the learning curve that life hands to you, for better or worse.

     I've already given up on going to grad school, since, I feel that I don't need to give up more money or time to deal with stretching this on much further; this is my choice, end of story. So, while I have nothing in particular that I'll miss about my time at Broward College (besides The Observer), I will miss their lunch rooms, though; because, they've expanded that, nicely. Sure, you have the assist from chains like Dunkin Donuts and Subway, yet, the stuff that they get from Food Services Inc. is an upgrade too. I'm not saying that the previous suppliers were bad, just that I like these options better.

     In closing, all I have to say is, that I have A LOT of work to attend to, a lot to learn and make some new things happen. That being said, I don't have a lot of time for the usual "hope and dreams" speech, same goes for tears or slumped shoulders. Basically, I'm just awaiting the fun part of the value of choosing such a profession, that's usually where you feel like you've earned something.
