Ending Up Valpo


Well I have about 5 weeks left at Valpo. It has been a very fast four years and I cannot believe it is already over. What makes it worse is that I have been employed before senior year and I have been itching all year long to head overseas and start work. I have made countless friends at this small school and it will be hard to leave them behind. The classes this year have also been very easy compared to other years which has allowed me to focus on work and also enjoying the last few weeks with my close friends. My plans after graduation are just as hectic as ever, typical Matt move where I get bored too easily and must be on the move. I graduate on may 20th and then mom and I head to Nebraska to see my grandmother. After the several days on the road, hopefully not driving each other too crazy, we will be in Boston, MA for a short time period. I leave for Hong Kong on June 15th and from there my boss and I will be traveling all over Asia and other parts of the world. It should be a wild ride, but no matter where I go, I will miss my close friends and memories that I have made while at Valpo. I certainly will not miss the bad weather, the muddy roads, or other nitty gritty things, but overall it has been a great ride. Just like anything in life, the experience totally depends on what you make of it and I think I am ready for the new chapter in my life.
