Done... Over.. I did it!
 
I had never attended one day of college before, so 3 years ago when looking at colleges for my son, I decided to get my own degree. As of 4 o'clock this afternoon, I finished my final exam. I will soon be a college graduate. Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management. It's finally over. Took me 2 1/2 years or 8 semesters. Busted my ass. Took 6-8 classes a semester which is 2-4 more than the normal load of a typical full time college student. (the primary goal was to finish before my son!)
Yeah, I did it!!! Done.. Over!!

Congratulations on a job well done.
Your son could have done the same, but is invited to more parties.

What are your plans now that you have the degree? Career change or advancement at your current gig?

Congrats from another non-traditional student! The worst thing about going back to college is how old the college kids make you feel.:)

Fantastic Mark...what an accomplishment. Time for a cold beer and a good night's sleep!

I was there once. Then the results of that last final exam were posted.

Not over.

Now it's time for school PTSD syndrome. For weeks afterwards I kept waking up thinking I was forgetting to study for something or feeling I should be hitting books, dreams of falling behind in class and missing assignments that didn't exist.

Good to hear that from someone else. I spent six months feeling like I was forgetting something.

/\/\/\/\THIS!!!! Except mine lasted AT LEAST 10 yrs. No better feeling tho when realizing it was a dream! Well done 'snake! Did you take Dean Wormer's advice and not go thru "Fat, Drunk and Stupid?" If you didn't...then you are legend!!!

onewhippedpuppy 12-13-2014 07:01 PM

I went back to get my MBA, so that feeling is unfortunately still legitimate.

Gogar 12-13-2014 07:15 PM

Congrats!


I think in a perfect world, everyone would go to college a little bit later in life.
