Thanks Cindi I needed that.
It will be a joy to meet classmates in person at graduation and we really must try to do something together. I had the opportunity to meet several of our instructors and a classmate when I visited the campus in February and it did add another level to my entire Full Sail experience. Yet I already felt that I knew those I met - technically for the first time - so well. For some of us, virtual communications are no longer a hindrance to developing working relationships and friendships across the miles and time zones.
I do find a certain irony in your words when you say "... a bunch of hapless grad students who haven't a clue how to fly" considering the Full Sail logo is a aircraft in flight. Of course, since then we HAVE learnt to fly on many levels. We have learnt not only how to fly, but also how to ski, swim, and even dance virtually-not to mention fall on our faces :) - and to soar educationally.
We've done it together and we will not know what to do with ourselves on May 1st when 11:59 pm is no longer a flashing alarm begging for our attention.

"I know you may not feel my support all the way out her in Montana, but I am here for you. A few short weeks from now we will be basking in the sun in Winter Park, telling funny stories directly to each other, in person, not digitally and loving every minute of it. We will say...remember when? And then we will laugh.
Just share your media project with us on Monday like we were old friends - which we are, and we will be supportive, and give great suggestions, and the world will all seem sunnier on Tuesday morning - I promise!
You have been an outstanding classmate and student in this program. You have shared so many helpful tips with me and others over the months. I truly appreciate all the professionalism, organization, and support you have displayed over our time learning together.
Memories like our SL ski trip will forever be burned into my brain and no EMDT program would ever be complete without a first tour of Second Life with a bunch of hapless grad students who haven't a clue how to fly (figuratively, or as an avatar)!
Thanks for the memories. WE can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, so stay the course!"
