Graduation (this time its for real!)

Graduation 2007Tonight I graduate from Drexel University (for the second time, but this time is the last and final time). I can’t believe its finally over. Its been a good five years though - I met some of my best friends here and had some amazing times. I worked really hard to get to where I am and it shows. I’m so proud of what I’ve accomplished, especially with my thesis. In fact, working on my thesis this past year has got me thinking that I might want to continue doing it as a profession. I’m planning on checking out the performances at SIGGRAPH this year and volunteering at the Philly Fringe Festival.

Research Day

Yesterday was Drexel’s annual Research, Innovation, Scholarship and Creativity Day where students present projects that they have done to be judged. I presented my thesis by creating a poster, video with all digital assets (including music) compiled together, and display of some of the influential books I read as well as my notes and sketches. The judges really seemed to enjoy my presentation and project. Awards will be announced May 9 so keep your fingers crossed for me.
