Graduation

So today is graduation at Texas Tech University. It is kind of a weird feeling. I took a year off of school to go to this internship in Japan so sometimes I can't help but wonder what if I stayed in Lubbock. I am glad I took this internship and there is no doubt that I not only grew as a student, but I also matured as a person.

I feel refreshed. I will be able to go back to school with a clear head and be able to do what I need to do. I am still going to have a few friends from the old days, but many of the people I knew (especially in my major) are long gone. It will be hard adjusting back to American culture (especially the food), but I think it will be fun.

This internship has showed me that I want to do something international after I graduated. Preferably Japan, but I love to travel overseas. It is just exciting to learn a new culture and get to know many people. I have thought about applying for an English teacher job, as I like working with children, or I have also thought about pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science in an international university. Either way it is safe to say that after I graduate I will be doing something overseas.

Anyways, I had a friend visit for Golden Week and I will be making a couple of blog posts about what we did. We went to Chinatown in Yokohama as well as a few other places.
