The end
After the courses, the exams, the rituals and the various parties, I came to realize it was all finally over. I mostly completed my studies by now. I still have one last course remaining this summer, but most of the people I spent all these years with are moving on now. It really is the end, and I already feel nostalgic of those years.
This last semester was a blast. I don’t think there is a single moment I could relax. All I could do was look forward to a date just to realize I had an other blitz coming up.
- January
- Cross Lingual Wiki Engine project launch
- CUSEC 2008
- CLWE core
- February
- Architecture for Translation Synchronization document
- Version control presentation redaction for PHP Quebec
- Mid-term report for school
- March
- Blitzweekend
- CS Games
- PHP Quebec 2008
- April
- Final report for CLWE
- Paper redaction for WikiSym08
- End of semester
This list isn’t even exhaustive because it ignores most normal school assignments, my regular work and various local PHP Quebec activities. No wonder I have not seen time passing by. Next week I will be in vaccation under the sun and I am really looking forward to it.
What is ahead? Mostly fuzzy. I refused all offers to work for large companies. I will simply continue my consulting work for a while with a few ventures along the way and I will try to keep doing some work on CLWE. Back when I started college, I had no idea what would be 3 years later. When I started university, I had no plans for the post-study period 4 years in the future. Nothing changed to my vision, but it has been a long road already.

You did truly kickass work on CLWE, and your vacation is well-earned!
Congratulations on (almost) finishing!

Yes, your CLWE work is outstanding!
Already nostalgic? Are you thinking of a Ph.D.?
