Graduation
I've finally graduated! I am now Engr. Tiong, Master of Engineering, Major in Computer and Communications, also Master of Reporting! Ha! Why did I say so? I can count in one hand the courses that I took in the program that didn't require me to report on a topic of choice or present answers to problems assigned to us by our professors.
Anyway, graduating from the Masters also signifies something else, it means that I have to move on from the academe to the industry. I've promised myself even before I graduate from college, that I will attend graduate school before moving on to the industry. Why then am I having a hard time moving on? Well, I've made friends and I have been given great opportunities. That's why I am feeling rotten about the whole "moving on" thing. I don't want to be ungrateful, I never asked for anything, it was willfully given to me, because of my qualifications not because of friendship. But what’s really buggin’ me is the fact that I am not happy with what I am doing anymore, I am not built to teach.
