Catching up on 2 weeks’ worth of absence, I have been racing to complete some projects as the semester closed, rushing to sign some official documents for my GRA, savoring my time with Becky, and getting on the bike whenever possible. Yesterday I officially received a diploma for a Bachelor’s of something-or-other in Mechanical Engineering even though I just completed a 3rd semester of classes which count towards my Master’s degree. So, yesterday afternoon, I put the finishing touches on my bachelor’s education and can begin to forget the monotonous given-then-solve routines that I was so thoroughly a master of. I graduated magna cum laude with a firm handshake and a thank you square into the eyes of the Dean of Mechanical Engineering.

I’ve given a lot of thought to the future lately. My academics have morphed into a sort-of career with their own set of rules, expectations and authority figures. The convenience and utility of motor transportation has me searching for a proper automobile that could last me a long time. Becky is moving here in July - an event worthy of a billboard-sized countdown.

Everywhere I look, a serious disposition seems appropriate, though even better accompanied with a round of humor and lightheartedness. A coming-of-age is on the horizon, and I’ve not been blogging enough lately to look back and see the magnificent progression. I blame my extreme busyness due to this past semester’s finale, my exhausted eveningself for not having the capacity to contemplate and document my coming-and-goings.

So, enjoy some visuals while I get my documentarian self back in order.
