graduated? thanks!


A piece of paper says my name on the diploma, but the full shock of having finally completed something in post-secondary education is still yet to sink in that I completed something. Extra years of general arts in college were awesome when deciding my path by working the student newspaper.

Emotions of incredibly happily knowing I've finished Journalism school completely thrilling and freaky to be done as a student. Wanted to bust a cartwheel across the stage, but walked and shook hands with the president of the tech school but I busted a move leaving the stage instead.

Was incredibly awesome to have my immediate family come from Victoria for the week and while I wish I could have seen more of extended family and friends, I'll head back to the island this summer and catch up, because they were the ones keeping me sane and they mean so much, the music helped too.

Finished despite a 50/50 program drop-out rate and I'm pretty stoked for it: getting through all the set-backs, agonizing decisions, making mistakes and finding faith at midnight to keep going nevertheless. So grateful for friends, instructors, administrators and mentors who helped me along the way at SAIT.

After many assignments written, research and practicums done, a few too many nights partying at rock shows later, I've met so many wonderful people and realized the SAIT chapter is written and finished. However like a hobbit there and back again, there's so much more I'll be writing of adventure.

Don't even know where to begin with shout-outs because it would read like a minor hollywood production crew because I'm so humbly aware of how it takes a village to raise a child and now I'll be passing on and helping other people. Now the road is open and the opportunities over the horizon endless.
