Just Okay

I'm not sure what I expected when I thought about the day I walked across the stage to receive my master's degree, but it wasn't anything like the actual experience. I guess I thought it would feel like a bigger deal than it felt like. I think I was basing my thoughts on R's master's graduation. He had a big dinner with all of his friends and family and then we all went to graduation and it just seemed like a big deal for him. Mine just felt like another day. We had a very small dinner with just my parents and brother and then actually sitting through graduation was agonizing on my back and was just very long after a tiring day. I left feeling no different then I did when I walked in and I don't really feel like I'm any better off career wise. Graduating with my bachelor's was much more sentimental and memorable. Oh well, I hoping the accomplishment will help me in the future and maybe as time goes on the experience will become more memorable and special.
