Life Milestone: Degree Finished

Yes, that's true. Finally after:

5 years
44 classes
1 final thesis
78 evaluations
3 failed classes
about 999999999 liters of coca cola
too many projects
a few headaches
millions lines of code
some bad teachers

I've finished my computer science degree.

Do I feel happy?...
..not really.

Well… I can totally relate to this… not fealing of accomplishment. I got my degree 3 months ago and I just recieved my diploma in the mail and to tell you the truth I do not feel any more "enlightened" or "academic" or 'higher educated" and I do not know why.... It just feels like, an underacomplishment?

Well, I kinda was expecting that angels would come from the sky grab me and I would float for some minutes while listening to a sort of power-up alike sound "aaaaaaahhh". But no...Everything is just...the same! Of course, it's not the same like five years ago, but it's the same like last week.

But I don't think I can say that I feel an underacomplishement, I know and I feel that I have learned interesting and useful stuff on the last five years. Although the second after you realise that you have graduated it was exactly the same as the second before..

Anyway for five years, everyone was like "damn it never ends", now that's ended most of us just want to go back to those days, but we can't. Anyway I enjoyed writting this entry, laughed a lot thinking in everything I had went through.

Hope everything is ok with you.
