Holy Schmoly, I think I'm Done
#1
OK, finally my "I'm Done" post. 79 credits in 10 months. Started at EC, ended up finishing w/ TESC for a BA Liberal Studies. Graduate in December (but all the credits are in). I really did not use Instacert (although it seemed helpful), but these boards were UNBELIEVABLY valuable. Chance to learn the ropes, find the shorcuts, avoid the landmines, vent from time to time, help someone else every blue moon and even get a few potential answers to questions that "might" be on "such and such version" of an exam (English Literature folks, I'm talking to you, you wonderful little devils...LOL)!!! Did I say that last line about answers?!? No I didn't. This post will self destruct in 5 seconds...

Special thanks to Jenn (good samaritan advisor and late night snacker (and studier), Alissa (yes, I'm still mad about the Psych GRE...haha), Mike (my alterego 40 year old musician on the left coast) and many others whom I thank as well.

Best of luck to all. I don't know what I'll do with the dang thing, but it's cool to actually finish something I started so long ago and know I did it at a fraction of the cost, time and red tape.

I know what it feels like to think that you'd never finish what you start eons ago, and to not know what to do with it. However, I feel and hear your joy and excitement, therefore, my fellow graduate...

[SIZE="7"]I applaude you.[/SIZE]

Congrats on blasting through that thing. It's getting a little toasty out here on the left coast, but my diploma is safely stored in the USPS envelope it came in lying next to the end table in my family room. That's what I did with mine. At some point I'll get that thing in a frame. Maybe for Christmas. Congratulations!

Michael, I meant to say 40 plus year old musician! I was accidently kind to us both!! I hope mine comes in a nicely padded envelope. It's probably gonna stay in there a while too!!
