dreamz Veteran Posted June 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2004 yes, i've graduated from northwestern university in 3 years! it was somewhat exciting, and i graduated summa ###### laude with departmental honors in economics and i got a special prize for my theoretical research thesis on ebay. i had a nice weekend with my parents and some friends, and i even managed to crack a smile despite all the depressing events that have happened to me these past few weeks. i had mixed emotions about the whole thing, but it's all over now. just thought i'd let you know. i felt like :laugh: and :cry: and :/ and :angry: all at once. i've had the best and worst times, especially during these past few weeks, swinging between moments of ecstasy and sadness. even now, it feels so surreal. thanks for reading. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamz Veteran Posted June 22, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2004 thanks, everyone! i majored in economics, so i took mathematics and game theory classes (hence the thesis), but i also dabbled in anthro., sociology, philosophy (yay!), and music. it was nice because my friends also got summa ###### laude and special honors, so we were all congratulating each other on that exciting day. :) johideo, good luck! i hope you enjoy it and don't get too caught up in academics as so many people do. right now i've got a position with a hedge fund company to create, analyze, and test algorithms and investment databases, so we'll see how that goes.

threetonesun Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Congratulations you damn genius! :beer: I just graduated as well, I know how many mixed emotions there are; being excited you graduated but still having to leave school and friends behind. And I know what it's like to be depressed right before graduation, my girlfriend broke up with me the week before :pinch: But hey, at least you've got a job! *goes off to burn his English degree to stay warm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
