End of it.

Well tonight is my official last night on the help desk answering phones. I have approximately 50 minutes left. The job was good to me in some ways. Most people were good when they called, some however are just tools who need to learn to read. They ruin support for the rest of you.

Either way done and out in less than an hour.

Tomorrow is a new day, Tomorrow is my final exam of my program.

Currently I know one mark, it is an A+. I am anticipating 2 more in Linux and Reservoir Engineering and Developmental Geology. This leaves a few wild cards.

Foremost is Geology. I do not know how well I did on the lab exam. I did ok on the midterm, but only managed an 82 on the pretest. I do not feal great about the final. I knew what we were supposed to know, but purposely did not study some stuff as we were told it would not be there. Unfortunately 11 marks worth of it was there. I may be able to squeak out a 90 on the test, but I suspect mid 80s to high 80s is more realistic. So at the end, probably an A in the class, I do not know about the A+ though.

Next up Geop 395. Did well on the lab test I believe. No clue how well the labs were done, we never got them back. The Mid term and quiz were both strong at over 90 and I am pretty sure I crushed the final. Probable A+

The last is Geophysics 397. We had no midterm. The entire class was based on a project and a presentation. I believe I did both well, but do not know for sure as I have not seen the marks. The final for this class is tomorrow. I feel very prepared for it so I am optimistic I can achieve an A+ in this class.

My 4.0 probably hangs on Geology.

So tomorrow is it all done school 2 years later I have a substantially new life. No longer working in retail. My income has approximately doubled, plus better benefits and bonuses. I have a new girlfriend. I am optimistic about the relationship. Life is good.

The biggest change to my life? This institution will be gone. When I moved to Calgary I got my first job here, that was back in 2001. I worked here when the Towers came down and now just about 7 years later I am finally leaving it. It has been good to me for the most part. Good people, good friends, places to live, employment and flexibility for me when I went back to school.

Despite being happy to never have to answer the help desk phone again, the job ensured high marks and no student loan, and for that I am grateful.

That is all for now.
