Khatam..

Saturday 21st August, 2004 marked the end of my association with The University of Akron as it was the convocation ceremony..

For once I can say, I am really glad to finish my education in style..Walking up the stage, shaking hands with the President and getting a Master's Degree wasnt something i had dreamt about in school, but what the heck, I enjoyed my 5 seconds of fame on stage with the world watching..

Wish my parents and other 'close' family members were here to witness the ceremony, but nevertheless, somethings are just meant to be..

Photos can be seen at http://photos.yahoo.com/rajeshanantharaman in the My Graduation 8-21-04 folder..

I remember i was an usher last time around when Hemant and Phani got their respective degrees..Now, it was my time and I really had a ball of a time..and for the first time in the history of Biomedical Engineering, 8 guys walked upto the stage and had their moment of glory..way to go guys and congrats on the same..

The feeling has sunk in and i am back to earth..OPT started on sunday and now its time to "hunt" for jobs like never before..

Laters then people..

It happens only in America..
