What was/will be your grad gift to yourself?

[sdgstudio]

For my graduation gift, I will probably get me a Semi-auto 12 Ga. Shotgun. I'm still deciding between the make and model of what to get. It's between Browning or Beretta. It will come in handy for when I go to the ranch.

Clep101,

Go with a Mossberg 530. Great price and reliable performance.

(My opinion. )

And now, back to the show!

My dad bought me an Excelsior College class ring. He was very proud, as I was the first in my family to earn a degree. I still wear the ring every day.

I don't know what/ if I will buy anything for my MS degree. I am footing the tuition bill instead of my employer this time, so just paying that off will probably feel like more than enough.

I bought a new briefcase. My old briefcase was given to me by my boss as a going-away gift when I left my last job in 1996. It was leather but it was only held together with string and bubble gum twelve years later--so I decided that I would keep it until I graduated and then get a new one.

You should all treat yourself to a class ring!

I have a funny story about mini coopers... Probably won't be funny on here but I'll try.

A friend of mine was just talking about how much she loved mini coopers. How much she wanted one and what colors and everything. Out of the car window a mini cooper drives by and she says, "Wow! What an ugly car I'd never want one like that."

My experience with mini coopers.

Haha, that's like my friend's fiance who exclaimed, "oh that's cool, Thanksgiving was on Thursday last year!"

Yeah.

TESC class ring. They're purty.
I really want a Ford Expedition...but that won't happen for awhile, so I'll settle for a Gran Torino.

I was going to make a separate posting but I don't know how. My daughter was the one who did 10 CLEPs in 2 days and then went on from there. She finished by doing 6 online courses, mainly in English from Charter Oak State College. She had college mathematics to go and she wrote and passed that CLEP on Monday. She is graduating next month from COSC. 16 years and 4 months old.

She has been accepted to an online teacher certification course ABCTE and will also be taking her M.Ed. with teacher certification from Grand Canyon University.

My son is starting his B.A. now

Wow... 10 CLEPs in 2 days? That's crazy, but awesome! Good for her! How long did it take her to finish her whole degree?

I honestly hadn't thought of getting myself anything until I saw this thread. Now my list is growing by leaps and bounds. I'm thinking I would really like a manicure... I've never had one, and as I don't take care of my hands at all, I could use one. I could also use a few new clothes. Beyond that... I'll probably just start saving money again, instead of spending it all.
