Grad Dinner/Commerce Formal... 
Yesterday was a strange day for me. You see all those years sitting back at CCF grad dinners and going to formals for other grads made me feel secure that I would be a student forever. I never felt as if I was in any jeopardy for being forced out of this school. In a way, the "student" status is the only thing I've known. For as far back into my waking years as I can remember, I've been a student. It's been one of my identities. I've embraced all that has come along with it: cheap movie and bus tickets, sleeping in until 4 in the afternoon, sleeping at 7 in the morning, and all the other perks of being a student. On Friday, it was another rite of passage for me - a going away party. First the CCF grad dinner. It was an amazing time of worship, chilling, skits, speeches, disses, food and of course, picture taking. I leave with my head up high, happy and content. I see the new generation of leaders that God has raised in this fellowship. For the first time since I've been here, there will be a full committee next year. Not only that but there are so many others wanting to step up and take charge. It's exciting for me, even though I probably won't be here to see it, but at least I leave knowing and trusting that the fellowship is in good...no great hands. After the grad dinner, I went over to the Commerce formal where it probably will be the last time I see many of those faces ever again. We danced, talked and took more pictures and after formal, we went karaoke until the wee hours of the night. I've spent four years in classes with some of them and just chilling around Rotman with them. It's been a lot of fun and there are a few that I know I'll be friends with for a very long time. But alas, it is my time to move on. In only three days, I will be officially finished all my classes and soon, officially, I shall no longer be a student of UT but an alumni. It's actually quite frightening as I've already gotten letters from the UT Alumni Association requestion money. For Pete's sake, I'm not even graduated yet!! I don't know if I'm ready (or willing) to go out into the big bad working world full-time for the rest of my life. Perhaps that is why I'm contemplating Masters. Maybe it's just an attempt to prolong my studenthood - my childhood. Anyways, it's been a great four years. Only a month left until exams are over and convocation in June. Pretty scary. I still remember the first day I walked into res in first year... posted by jamescl | 1:57 PM

Thanks to my buddies for adding colour to my otherwise dull life.
