College Graduation

[Reader note:  my fellow blogger Autumn is maintaining an independent blog as well as writing here.  Her blog can be found at www.arwhit11.wordpress.com]

I’m back my beloved readership, and I’m now certified as a college grad.  I think so.  Still haven’t got the diploma but they let me walk across stage so that has to count for something right?  Right???  Yeah it’s probably as valuable as TP isn’t it?

I’m not sure how to feel about being a college graduate.  Did anything change?  Am I taller?  Am I more handsome?  Am I smarter?  Alright you have me on the “more handsome” one but the movement to college grad from um…ungraduated seems to be more of a change in how I’m viewed by society rather than an innate change in my own composition.  I’m still me.  I think.  I still work the same job as before.  I still drive the same car and sleep in the same bed.  I still tell the same silly jokes as before and yet…and yet…I’m a college graduate!  It took awhile to sink in, but I am.  Yah!

My future plans are to pursue a MUP (that’s Masters of Urban Planning, I like to call it a “MUP” and people I know would like it if I’d shut up about my “MUP”).  Should take me two years.   After that I’m not sure.   A Ph.D in history is my real dream, but getting out and making some money is quickly becoming an urge (not to mention an ego and vanity problem) that I can’t ignore.  But I have time. 

Thanks to my beloved readership who still check in (I see that the views were rather consistent while I was gone!) and I hope they check back in as I plan to write alot this summer.  I’m…..Back.
