WOW!

Congratulations!

That's a wonderful achievement

How does it feel? I remember graduating (but only with a BS) and it felt good, but kind of bittersweet, too - I had a lot of good times at school.

When do you leave for your job?

**Mari** · 01-13-2011, 11:03 AM

Yay!

***Varnafindë*** · 01-13-2011, 07:29 PM

Congratulations, Jon!

***Tessar*** · 01-13-2011, 08:34 PM

That's so exciting! Congratulations!

BeardofPants · 01-14-2011, 12:24 AM

Way to go!

***Tessar*** · 01-14-2011, 05:09 PM

Well, after this first quiz I actually feel a LOT more confident about the accounting class. It's not so horrible... it's just a lot of memorizing terms and formulas. The formulas are a little confusing, but heck.... my entire music education has been one long memorization of terms.

"Learn this aria, memorize these musical notations, memorize this composer's short bio, memorize the English translation to your French art song, memorize the composers of these eras.... TESSAR, WHY AREN'T YOU MEMORIZING THE NAMES OF YOUR POETRY WRITERS?"

If there is one thing in life I'm getting good at, it's freakin' memorizing terms, yo?

So relieved and happy.

Now I have a violin lesson, and I teach a piano lesson. Then my violin teacher and I are gonna have an "Extras" marathon.

Today offered a nice graduation ceremony, as well as a great party in the evening with fellow graduates. There will be more of the same tomorrow

Voronwen · 01-15-2011, 08:49 AM

Generally happy today... just wanted to share that.

Those are always nice days...I am too. I was given a letter yesterday saying that I've been nominated by the faculty and staff to attend a leadership academy (great for the experience and transcript!). A plus to that, we have Monday off for MLKJ Day!

***Jonathan*** · 01-15-2011, 11:58 PM

It's 5 am and I've just gotten home after a day of the best graduation parties ever.

Oh, I missed this. Congratulations!

I take it you won't be needing a nightcap, then.

***Jonathan*** · 01-16-2011, 09:33 AM

Haha, a nightcap would be superfluous

Three hours of sleep tonight, but that's okay. I'm on a high of post-graduation happiness, pride and thankfulness today

**Mari** · 01-16-2011, 10:34 AM

Methinks you've quite earned that!

Ingwe · 01-16-2011, 02:27 PM

Things will eventually be happy once more. And that, in and of itself, is something to look forward to and that, to a degree, must offer me the solace that has become necessary for me.

I'm glad to have returned and to see everyone in mostly-good spirits. Don't worry - my awkward posts won't make much of an appearance aside from this post. I'm on temporary leave from work and now on temporary leave from, well, pretty much everything else. Whether 'temporary' becomes permanent is yet to be seen.

Hi Ingwe, long time no see! I missed you around. And Amy. What are you up to during the day if you're not working then?

Absolutely nothing. I've been sick for weeks now. As far as Amy, she's been busy taking care of the kids, and me. I would imagine that she's still posting around here, but I ain't sure.

Oh, that's not very nice

I hope you'll feel better soon!
I haven't seen Amy around for a very long time though.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-17-2011, 12:20 AM

Just got back my grade on my French class: 98/100. Of course, grades don't really matter here, since I'm doing it for self-improvement, rather than for school requirements. Still gives me that warm and self-important feeling.
