When leaving my sisters house this evening, my brother Leo (that's just easier) told me I need to keep blogging. I would be neglectful if I didn't mention the fact that the Bruins came back from a 3-1 Deficit and scored 3 goals in 5:32 and an empty-netter to seal the game. Leo wants it to be clear that the Canadiens blew that game and Carey Price should've made that save on Reilly Smith goal, but hey a W is a W. That should be a very exciting series, maybe a blog in the future about it could appear on this blog. I keep saying I want to keep writing, but I never know the topics. I need to work on that to make this a regular thing.
As of this writing I am two weeks away from receiving my Master's Degree of Education in Psychology with a concentration in Student Personnel Administration (essentially I get to work with college students for the rest of my life) from Springfield College. Yesterday marked the 2nd year anniversary of my graduation from Undergrad at Northeastern University. I find myself comparing the two graduations in my head and there are some very different takes on these two monumental moments in my life.
Before my undergrad graduation, I would've done anything to delay the moment. I had built many different relationships with people I love dearly (from my wife, to my best man Max, Big Al, Z, Jake to my favorite ladies Caitlin, Alia, Jillian...the list goes on) and I knew that we were all going in different directions in our lives and who knows if those relationships would last. Distance makes everything more difficult. It was the best 5 years of my life. I was taking a step into what my life is going to be as being an RD and getting my master's degree. I spent the summer having as much fun as possible and try to have as much interaction with my friends as possible to make up for the lack of hanging out that I'd struggle with in Springfield.
The challenged I expected were there but the friendships made it through. Right now I have built a lot of very important relationships here at Springfield College, friends I will carry with me for a long time, but this graduation is one I am really looking forward to. These past two years have been very challenging in multiple ways with this year being particularly more difficult. There have also been great times as well....getting married is the best day of my life so far, grad nights at Theo's, and just the overall laughs I have enjoyed. However, I don't live with my wife and that is quite frankly terrible. I am looking forward to graduation so that I can get a job and work full time and finally live with my wife. I don't want to delay my graduation even a little bit as I am ready to move forward. I am going to miss my friends I've made here (the wrong crowd, Cora, the many RAs and Residents that I have built relationships with). I am excited to see where I end up, hopefully closer to Boston, and finally (for real) start my life with my wife and continue my career. I'm ready to be more of a presence with my family and friends again. I'm ready
