Finally Done

Today I remembered my trip in North Carolina. My dad just finished an MBA (Master of Business Administration) in Duke University so we traveled for his graduation. He was so busy... He almost didn't pass time with us and he traveled even more even tough he brought cool souvenirs.

North Carolina was quite cold for me, but I am kind of used to it because I've been several times in Bogota, Colombia and the temperature it's about the same. The university's campus was huge! We even had to use a map. It had the East Campus and the West Campus. We were staying in the David Thomas Center, a place where the people that do their MBA's by Internet stay for some time, like my dad.

My dad received his homework, assignments, and tests through Internet and send them back on certain time. His teachers send them the videos of each of the classes so that my dad could watch them on time or he would miss class. He practically does everything with the computer, but he also has to travel. The people of Duke want their students to experience other cultures so my dad traveled to many parts of the world such as Dubai, China, and Turkey. He brought us souvenirs from everywhere.

I noticed that my dad worked really hard in there. He had to work and to study and he was expected to do well on both! Do you know how difficult that is? When we got there, in North Carolina, my dad kept on studying but at least it was less work and we "passed time together" (my mom, my brother and I walked around the campus and traveled in the city while my dad was studying).

At the end my dad accidentally missed class so we passed that entire day with him. Finally some family time. I'm very thankful because he finally finished, and now he has a little bit more time with us. He' keeps traveling and working but now he passes weekends with us. On weekends we play golf together even though I don't like it much but I try to have some family time. Now he has time to watch some T.V. and even to talk to me peacefully, not in a hurry or with stress. He's now back to real life. Thank Goodness he finished.
