This semester has been a long journey from beginning to end with a series of trials and troubles along the way. There have been failures and successes in equal measure; illness, printing errors, missed deadlines, but also the joy of a brochure coming out better than expected, a menu looking sharp, crisp and professional after construction, and the amusement of time spent with peers, professors and friends.

I've struggled to get this far and to manage not to break down in tears or quit. I've fought with software, hardware, my own body and time. Capstone, like life in general, has had a lot of ups, downs and level planes in between.

Like many of my classmates, I'm torn as to whether I'm glad that the semester is coming to an end and the summer is on its way, or disappointed to see everyone dispersing to head their own ways.
