I just graduated! (Its about damn time)

chippewastud79 · 12-13-2008, 03:25 PM

While I didn't really walk or attend the ceremony, my time for the graduation was 5:00 pm, so that means I just graduated from college. I am receiving a Bachelors Degree in History and Physical Education from Central Michigan University. I guess I get the piece of paper in the mail in a week or so. So maybe it took 8 years (there was a 3 and a half year break in there) and it isn't the entire degree I was originally scheduled to get, but life changes and I am happy either way.

I know it is a little lame, but thought I would share with you folks

BamBam · 12-13-2008, 03:27 PM

Not lame. That's awesome. Especially the fact that you finished after taking the break. Going back is the hardest part.

Congrats

Awesome job, congrats. Who cares how long it took, just pat yourself on the back, grab your favorite drink and sit back and have a smoke. Nice work.
