Congratulations!

Agh, I'm dying to graduate, I have my final exam on Saturday, then I'm done for good. Though whether we actually get to graduate in the summer is up in the air at the minute due to staff strikes. Blah.

Anyway, does it feel really great? I'm guessing from your post that it does!

It does feel great. It's especially satisfying for me because I dropped out for 4 years. There was a time when I didn't know if I would ever go back, but here I am.

CONGRATS MOWARK!!! That's really great you actually went back to school. Once you're out I know a lot of people who tell me how difficult it is to go back....

I actually chose not to walk because it's like 3 hours of listening and waiting for 5 seconds of stage time. And bring on those lights!

Congratulations Mo! An amazing achievement really. I'm so jealous of you bastards! I've been working on my BS for three years and now on hiatus. I do hope if I stop for awhile I can have the strength like you to finish!!!!

Congrats!!!
