Thank God I'm done!!!

[IrishJohn]

With the completion of the Middle East class I took at TESC and the Civil War DSST exam today, I've now completed everything for the BA in History at TESC!!! :coolgleam:

I can't tell everyone enough how much this forum has meant in finishing my degree, nor my gratitude to everyone here for your help! I had just about given up on finishing a bachelor's degree when I somehow stumbled across this forum and learned about TESC last September. With everything I learned here and thanks to some hard work and TESC, I've been able to piece together a good degree from my eclectic college career! I am just amazed that I can finally say that I'm actually done!!! I've attached my final degree plan in case it helps anyone else.

So what's next? Well a nice break for starters. I'm going to finish the LEED AP and then the PMP certifications for work and probably will start working on a Graduate Certificate through Amberton University next year. Beyond that I really don't know right now, I'm practically giddy with having completed this degree so my thinking process isn't working properly at the moment.

Thanks again everyone!!!

[SIZE="7"]CONGRATULATIONS!!!!![/SIZE] I hope we will see you at graduation.

Enjoy the free time, but if you are like me in a week or two you will be bored with all this time and start thinking about how to get busy againmilelol:

I hope you will continue to grace us with your great humor.

Thanks everyone! I'm applying for graduation tomorrow but with the cut-off being July 1st and TESC's notoriously slooooooooow processing of well, EVERYTHING, I probably won't make the October graduation. Hopefully I can get squeezed in but if I have to wait till December it is still worth it to have a BA in History vs. a BA in Liberal Studies. There's nothing wrong with the latter degree but I think a subject major is better for a resume and I've always like history anyways. Gracias to Clep101 for the tip on switching my major. If I graduate in October I'm going to try and go to the ceremony in Trenton but if it's December instead I doubt I'll be able to with the Holidays and all.

Lindagerr you may be right about my coming back to take more tests. I found out from Alleycat that some DSSTs & CLEPs can be used as Cert PDUs for the PMP so I'll probably pursue that option once I have the PMP itself completed. Heck, if I do enough of them I may even put them together for a BSBA someday. The good part is that the pressure to finish a bachelors is off now and I can pursue other options without all the stress.

I can't wait till I get the actual degree in my hands!!!
