I just signed up at last.fm the other day. It’s a neat way to get new music. What it does is track what you currently listen to via a plugin to iTunes or whatever. Based on the artist and track, and tags that you and others have given the song before, last.fm begins to generate a profile of your musical tastes. Once it knows enough about you, it recommends other artists of the same style; many you’ve never heard of. If you know my style, please recommend stuff to me! If you don’t know my style, recommend stuff to me anyway! My tastes are very eclectic, and there’s a good chance that I’ll like it.

So I finished the last class of my college career tonight. Yes, that means I’m finished and graduated. I’m walking on Saturday.

It feels kind of weird to know that I’ll never have class again, or that I’ll never see some people ever again. High school graduation was more of a “WOOHOO I’m out of here and doing better things!” College graduation feels way more bittersweet. In high school, I knew I was going to college and more years of school. Now, I have a degree that means something, and could really go anywhere in the world…. and leave all my friends that I’ve made here. That’s not going to happen. I least I’m not planning on it. But it could happen. And that’s what really gets me.

I’m officially out in the world now, and I don’t know that I’m ready even after all these years. I suppose everything will just work out, because that what it usually does.

I really don’t know how to feel right now. Sure I’m super excited about being done, but in the end, were the last few years worth it? I’d like to think so. I’ve met so many amazing people, and have had a hell of a good time. I guess I should just stop thinking about the weird parts and just be happy that I’m finished with school. I’ve promised myself that I will never grow up, but graduating really puts a big hurt on that promise.

Rest of my life, here I come! I hope you’re ready!
