Hey Ehmry!  Guess what!

I just graduated!  From college!  With a degree, and everything!

You know what that means?  More Guild Wars 2!  At least until I start my job in the new year >.>.

Did I mention I have a job too?  I'm pretty stoked about this whole "real life" thing right now.

Anyway, just wanted to share.  Carry on.

Yea, I'm pretty excited about it.  I started working with this company as an intern over the summer two and a half years ago, and I've stayed on with them part time since then.  They've basically just been waiting for me to graduate before they handed me a full-time job.

I was going to say that, but I didn't want to cast a pall on the post-graduation jubilation. :P

Eh, I'm moving out sometime in the next month, so I'm sure adult life will hit me in the face at some point.  Bills, rent, dealing with Comcast, etc... but yea for now, pretty excited xD.

I am pleased that you have embraced the metric system. You guys and Liberia - what a pack of loonies!

Congrats Fair. But I would agree with Fraani. Adult life is the pits.

Especially just starting out. It's what has kept me skulking in the shadows.

Good luck with all of your endeavors.

Congrats!
Adult life is awesome!  
Instead of work + school, you just have work.
With your BS CS you should have a nice job, a little extra income, and it can be really fun.
Just find a couple of things that keep your heart full of joy, and the mind numbing grind of bureaucracy and moochers are hardly noticeable!
I like to pretend to crush people's heads in traffic.  No matter how long the journey, there is always something along the way that makes you giggle!
