I became friends with Wen, Yan, and Christy, seriously some of the sweetest people I have ever met, during the first week of classes, and now we're graduating!Well, it’s official - the MAcc 2012 class has graduated! The Graduate Programs Office held a lovely reception for our class on Friday evening. It was wonderful to have my family meet my friends and their families.

The past week has solidified the fact that everything really is coming to a close in the Fisher MAcc program. I turned in two final papers and took a final exam, but that’s not really what drove the point home. All sorts of exciting things are happening around campus, and having time to do them has been a wonderful reminder that I have no more homework! I think I am still in denial about the year being over, but for now, I am enjoying and savoring every minute!For beating our professor in the 5K race, a group of us was treated to Jeni’s ice cream!

I have finished all of my classes, both for my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Thankfully, I do not think this fact has fully sunk in yet. I completed two final exams and only have two more standing between me and graduation!The last week of classes was busy but fun. We made and ordered a MAcc yearbook on Mixbook.com and wrote messages for each other!

I am amazed that we fit so much into one weekend! After my classes ended on Thursday, I and some other MAccers attended a dance and fashion show called UTSAV, put on by the Fisher Indian Students Association. We had so much fun watching and enjoyed the delicious Indian lunch afterward! On Friday morning, a group of us was invited to have breakfast with MAcc faculty and staff.

The past few weeks have truly shown what a wonderful opportunity it is to be a Fisher MAcc student.
