Congrats!! My oldest daughter graduated 8th grade today..

I'll be graduating in September with my Associates in the field of Multimedia. Then it's back to school for me, for another associates and a bachelors.

But before that, I still have a final exam tomorrow, a final project due Friday, and another final project a week or so from now due.

Then it's 3-4 months of ground pounding on my capstone project.

So, to all those graduating in the next couple months.

Congratulations, but don't let that fancy degree make your egos get all hot-air-balloony, theres still a crap-load of work you'll be going through.

And for the high-school graduates preparing for college. Welcome to the real world.

Hardly.

Anyway, graduated with my second B.A. on the twelfth. GPA of 3.922.

I don't think I've ever actually mentioned it, so I'll say, the bigger news is that my wife got accepted to Grad School at CU Boulder. We're moving to Colorado in August.

Shhhh, you're supposed to scare the college freshmen.

And congrats to your wife on the acceptance, and grats on the BA.

I join the club with my Associates degree. Starting back real soon for the Bachelor's.

Are you going to Disneyland/world?

It's a gyp if you're not.


'99 and '05 babyyyyyyy!

On June 15th I'll have my Bachelors Degree in Hand. I technically graduated in March but not had the formal ceremony nor degree in hand.

At least I managed to land a job relevant to my profession.

Hey Neko another Class of 007 here!

Where are you graduating from (High School/College)? So I know what to put next to your name.

Thanks man. Good luck with the final grind, take a long break afterwards if you can.



I was thinking about passing on some pearls of wisdom to the potential freshmen, but then I couldn't come up with any. Oh well.

Oh, here's one: think about enduring a single Comp Sci class. it can be the difference between a BA and a BS.

I shall be graduating from high school on Sunday, so add me to the list. Kick 'em, Colts and Gig 'em, Aggies!

Me too, though I don't get the diploma unit I finish Adult Ed..

And it's Kalamazoo Central High Scool (KCHS--GO GIANTS!!) for the both of us. The most unbelievable name for a town EVER.

Oh yeah, we're getting that Kalamazoo Promise thing you may have heard about. The free college and all that.

Wassat?


At my school we have a special scholorship for our graduates going to Beville State called the Jumpstart that pretty much covers your first year. I got that and another worth $800.

The Kalamazoo Promise is a charity organization that gives a percentage of College Tuition based on how long you were in Kalamazoo Public Schools. (KPS) If you were in there from Kindergarden until High School Graduation, they will pay 100% of College Tuition. But only to Michigan COlleges, like WMU, UofM, MSU, or most other colleges in Michigan. Tweezy is going to an Art College, I'm going to a Community College.

Our school's Lacrosse team, at the end of every match, would shout "ONE TWO THREE...GO GIANTS!" to Portage Schools, a part of Kalamazoo County who ISN'T eligable for the promise, they would say "ONE TWO THREE...WE GET THE PROMISE!!"

And it's different from a Scholarship, in that anyone who was in KPS BEFORE Ninth grade gets it. (Meaning you can't just put a senior in and expect the Promise)

You lucky bastards.

Put another one down for 07 here.

I'm thinking on a few things college wise, one being is going to Specs Howard or OCC.

Alos I'm in the early stages of putting together a grad party.

So, let me get this straight. You're choosing to blow the cities money on community college, and not go to MSU, where they riot like once a week.

You know how much looting could be done?

Throw another on the pile. I'm finishing my second year of Graphic design today, and should hopefully be getting my diploma not long after. Sure, it's been absolute crap getting here, and I'm only passingly aware of the fact, but hey...

06 was a vastly superior class to have graduated in.

Ah, but the class of '07 will (esp our members)always recall their graduating year as the year that Transformers movie came out.

The Promise only pays for tuition, you still need the GPA to get in.

And I do NOT have the GPA to get in.

Also, it's NOT the cities money. It's all donations from very rich people. We don't KNOW who the rich people are, though.

Class of 007 here, High School!

I was just wondering, but where is everyone going to college?

Ah, okey dokey. So I assume you're going the "go to a CC for a better GPA then transfer route?" If not, hopefully you'll consider it. Community Colleges are awesome when it comes to helping transfer students to another Uni.

Also, some good news from my graduation front. Turns out I may have a investor willing to front up money for a VG idea of mine, depending on the cinematic(which I'm working on) and the demo.
So while it's not solid, it's a step in the right direction. Woots.

June 11... B.Sc. in microbiology!
