And so my first year of post secondary education has drawn to a close and oddly enough, it was with the UofA. I just finished four concecutive exams in four concecutive days, and let me tell you now, never ever do it; it's incredibly hard to study for; then, you imagine what it's like to have two exams on the same day.
The days of drifting around are over now, and I am pleasantly very happy about it. I guess that throughout the year, I just never really felt I belonged in the school. No, I'm not talking about personality-wise, in fact, I've met some really cool people. I am talking about the actual studying and learning process where I never really fit in. The closest thing I can come up with to tell you what it's like is, trying to be an athlete but you really want to become a teacher. Becoming a teacher, depending on which level, will involve physical activities, such as in elementary, where all teachers have to teach pretty much every subject. It is involved in your passion for teaching, but you're really not an athlete. Other than that though, I have enjoyed many things about going to one of the larger schools in Canada. You know it's true when they tell you that "cool will only get you through to Grade 12", and it cannot be more true since it's like a free for all in university where everyone is trying to pursue for a spot to earn their degree.
I think for anyone that is so full of themself, wait until you hit first year of university. You really get to see that the world is way bigger than you are accustomed to. Elementary through to high school, the communities are relatively small, but then you suddenly hit college and it's like, wow, what a place. And then, of course, the next time you would have this type of an epiphany again is when you get married and start a family, haha, but I still have my ways to go before this happens, LOL. Well, thanks to everyone that has helped me at anypoint in time over this past year that allowed me to crawl over the finish line - 'preciate it!

Now that the Caps have disappointed me, I'm going back to my original prediction; do I smell a repeat?
