Can I brag for a minute?
Come on, what else is the Lounge for? :crazy:

I went back to school over the last 2 years to complete my undergraduate degree. I'm lucky to be married to someone completely supportive of me doing this. I worked full time through 8 classes and raising a kiddo from age 2 to 4.

I took my last final exam last Thursday, and got my grade today. I got straight A's through all 8 classes I needed to finish.

Damn that feels good. :bounce:

6. That's because you're awesome!
I was talking to JonnyBlitz on Friday. If things stabilize for me a bit more, I'm thinking to taking a train up in your direction to come visit for a day-trip. How would you feel about a meet-up? :)

12. That'd be awesome, dude :)
We're having my grad party on August 18th, if you'd be interested to come up for that, or we could always meet up in a smaller group if that'd be better (which it might, if you were just coming up for a day). Anyway, definitely please PM me if that's gonna happen!

So what's your degree in? Somethin' all liberal 'n' stuff? :patriot:









I'm so relieved. I was afraid this was gonna be another bra-fitting thread, and I just don't want to hear about that. :P

24. Major in German Studies and a minor in Math
I started out in Electrical Engineering and Math, but then the road got... complicated, and I wound up here. Still, it's good to be done. :D








Don't worry, next time I'll just post about bikini-fitting, instead :P

37. DAYUM!!!
:wow:

You should be very proud, especially considering that you balanced your workload with raising a small child! I actually made straight A's my final semester of college taking 7 courses (21 hours), but I didn't have a small kid at home to contend with. That was damned hard and I just barely made it! I am in awe of your determination and intelligence. Way to go, LynzM!
