After four long years
After four long years, I finally have my degree as a Bachelor in Computer Science and Informatics. God knows it was difficult (not extremely difficult, but difficult) to get there. There were many sacrifices, many nights where we slept very little, many things we stopped doing because we had to study or do homework.
But there were also many good things, these four years I was surrounded by many wonderful people, those people undoubtedly helped me get my degree on April 10th.
I have to thank everyone for their help. I have tons of good memories; all the times Adrián, Héctor, and I had to go eat at midnight because we were working, all the nights I spent at Adrián’s house and then he would bring me home, no matter the hour.
The visits to Alajuela on Sundays, the many times I ate at Carlos’, the times we studied in my apartment, the times I spent in “el pretil” with Hector. The many “heartbreaks” we went through together, the many many times I fell asleep in class :$, the laughter and the tears, the anger and the peace, the tiredness and the rest, the anxiety and the relief… And undoubtedly many more memories that I simply don’t have space to write each one.
In addition to my wonderful friends, I have to mention my wonderful professors, who also became friends, those who saw me cry and lent me their shoulders, those who taught me more than zeros and ones, those who really cared about making me a better person, not just a good professional. I spent many hours in their offices and I hope to spend even more time there.
Well, with a piece of paper and in less than two hours, I close a page of my life, the page that contains the time when I was a bachelor’s student at ECCI, UCR. It seems like it was just yesterday when I first went to classes there, and saw Maureen, Adrián, Héctor, Chepe, and many others, that time I thought I wouldn’t make it to the end.
Sometimes we are very wrong…
