Default School's out!

Well, college ended today for me. I survived the freshman year of UC Berkeley, and I made it out alive!

Hopefully, I did well on my finals!

For those of you who are still in school, good luck and god speed on your exams! :)

... Freshman at UCLA. The last day is June 18, and I have 5 exams between now and then (but at least two of them should be gentle).

.... Retired .... My last formal class was decades ago.

But I still have a lot to learn,

...and promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Retired a decade ago almost, but I keep on learning every day on this forum.

A poor player who struts and frets his hour opon the stage,
And then is heard no more; .

Full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing" Macbeth

The first line I did not remember at the time is
'My way of life has fallen into the sear the yellow leaf (Autumn)

A reminder jinydu and the rest with you, you have just 9 days to finalise on your studies.
Dont let stress deplete your system and get all muddled up.
A day or two earlier take it a bit easy.
Im tempted to brag about my own results but Id rather pass

Frost did that in order to convey a sense of somnolent dreaminess on the part of the narrator.
