A few observations from today....

Sept 10, 2001 was my first day here at University of Waterloo....
Today is my last.

 
On Sept 10, 2001 I entered thinking I would graduate as a biochemist, MD, or teacher.... 
Today I am leaving as an Optometrist.

 
On Sept 10, 2001 I had never heard of Corleen McCurdy before....
Today I am 36 days away from marrying my best friend, my love, my Cor.




I know which of the above I'm most excited about. Definitely the last!
