Graduation is Close


Wow college has flown by. I had my last presentation on Wednesday and my last day of work today. It is a weird feeling to be all done with school. I feel sooooo old. Tomorrow the College of Business is having a cookout for all the graduating seniors that I will be going to with my mom and dad. I will be officially graduating on Saturday at 4:00 and receiving B.S. degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. Hope to see you all there. Roy I guess I can forgive you for not coming, you do have a valid excuse. For the rest of you who can not make it, I will try to have pics from graduation up ASAP to make you feel like you were there.

It has been a great four years that I will always remember. I am looking to tackle the next stage of life with enthusiasm and determination. Thanks to everyone for helping me to become the person I am today. You all have affected me in some way or another.

I will be starting my trip in Bristol England

I leave from O'hare on May 12th at 7:15pm and arrive in London at Heathrow Airport around 9:20am local time.

I am arriving in the UK a couple days before my actual program starts. I will be staying with my buddy Ayman for few days. On May 16th my program officially begins.

The first 3 weeks of the program will be spent in Bristol. I will be attending classes at the University of the West of England and staying with a host family.

The fourth week of the trip will be spent in Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the headquarters of the European Union.
