At last! I have finally completed my Associate of Arts degree at St. Charles Community College. Caryl and I both graduated on Saturday, and we are finally done! Caryl has completed her Nursing degree and after completing boards next month she will offically be a RN! I'm so proud of her. The program was stressful, tedious, and an emotional roller coaster. Filled with frustration, tears, many late nights and early mornings, Caryl tackled the tremendous task with a vengence. She is such a strong willed woman. When she sets her mind on a task there is no stoping her.
I completed my Associates in Business Admin after only 10 years at a 2 yr school. I think this last semester was the hardest, tho. I had lost all motivation midway through and hoped I would pass by the skin of my teeth. I was able to get 2 B's and 1 C, so I was pretty happy about that. I'll start at Webster in the Fall where I'll major in Management with an Emphasis in Human Resource Management. I should secure my bachelor's degree within 2 years. At that point I'll reassess my situation and decide if I want Verizon to pay for my Master's degree, too.
For our graduation presents, Caryl and I took the money we were given and bought each other some gifts. Caryl got a green amathyst (sp?) ring, and I got 2 tickets to a cardinals game and a new cardinal jersey. Both things we really wanted, but could never justify the expense until we had some disposable income available.
I ran into Ian and Katie at the ball game. They were both suprised to see me. It was a breif encounter, but it sure was nice seeing them again. It's been a while.
Now I think this is my longest blog in a dogs age, so I'll finish up now I guess. Hope every one is having a wonderful week! TTFN!
