Officially A College Grad
Main grad ceremony yesterday and had a Business School Graduation today. Done in 4 years with a BS in Finance from Miami University. Job waiting for me in Chicago when I get home. I don't think I would trade the last four years for anything in the world. Wanted to thank you guys for being the distraction I needed in boring lectures or when I was supposed to be studying for exams.
Off for one last night of debauchery here in Oxford before this fantasy life I have been leading is over. Cheers Gentlemen

If Pelican had existed when I was in college..., hell, if the internet had existed, I would never have gotten any studying done. Not that I got much done as it was...

Yea, get a job and start paying those taxes. We need your social security and Medicare payments to start right away.

Thanks everyone, I'm getting on my computer for the first time today after driving home and unloading the car.
I'm working for a business services company in their management training program. The job is actually located in the suburbs but I'm going to move to Lincoln Park, Lakeview or Wrigleyville this summer and do the reverse commute. I have partial employer matching on my 401k so I plan to do as much as I can to save for the long term. Unfortunately I'm not getting paid a great deal and Chicago is expensive so I will be running a little leaner than I like in the short term. Quote:

"Miami-Ohio sorority suspended after wild formal By DAN SEWELL Associated Press Writer © 2010 The Associated Press May 11, 2010, 2:12PM CINCINNATI — Miami University of Ohio has suspended a sorority for a year after a lodge owner complained about damage and unruly behavior at a spring formal including guests urinating in sinks, men scrambling over the bar for drinks, and couples caught having sex. The action against the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women chapter followed a letter of complaint from the lodge owner to the southwest Ohio school about the April 9 event at Lake Lyndsay Lodge, about 30 miles north of Cincinnati." I didn't know you Oxford folks knew how to party!
