Graduation, what a pride!

I can't believe two years went so fast.. it feels like just yesterday that we were in Lyon with a single bed for two persons, ahah! Even though the winter was long and cold, I don't feel like I spent 10 months in Macomb. We have made such good friends and have seen so many places during our stay that going back to reality will be a hard one.

The graduation ceremony at Western Illinois really was a great pride. I felt like all the energy we put in making this program work as far as we could has been successful, and it's a great feeling. Moreover, my parents, the Atlantis coordinators, and some students from DePaul attended our ceremony and congratulated us warmly. Wearing the cap and gown, and walking on stage has been a very strong moment, for me as much as for my father. Thankyou Western Illinois, Thankyou Atlantis!

Schools (almost) out!

Surprisingly, the finals week has been the quiestest of the semester! Most of my classes spread the work over the semester to avoid work jam on final week. I think I did pretty well on my exams, and I foresee four As and one B. Also, I would like to give credit to the outstanding professors that I have had in class at Western Illinois, and particularly to Dr. Don Johnson and Dr. Hongbok Lee. These two teachers are among the best I have ever had, and there classes were really interesting.

Now, its packing + celebration time before my parents arrive in Macomb for the graduation ceremony!
