It's Graduation Time - Lady Vashj - 05-02-2005
Self or first-degree relatives only, please. I don't want some overeager person to detail the life histories of the entire senior class.
I have two, actually. I'm graduating May 13th (next...uh, Friday) from Lansing Community College with a General Associate's Degree. (The GAD is what LCC gives to people whose major is "Undecided".) I don't get a big party like when I graduated from high school, but a)that's not entirely a bad thing and b)it means more on a resume.
My younger brother, Kevin, is graduating from St. Johns High School on May 22nd (I think). He gets a big party. He also has to clean his room for it, since the lazy wastrel has done absolutely jack sh*t so far to get his own open house off the ground. He never even brough the Josten's catalog home (at least some of you must know Josten's; they sell caps, gowns, announcements, and other things to do with graduation). I showed him some of my pretty, foil-stamped name cards with "Class of 2003" and my full name printed on them in lovely script, and when he compared him to his plain old white cards with his first and last name in blocky, kinda ugly script, he pitched a fit. Serves him for being so lazy; I brought a catalog home.

On May 14th, I graduate with a Computer Science degree from Ursinus College (a small liberal arts college NW of Philly) Hopefully, soon thereafter, I find a job. Anyone hiring? :)

....too late. I got my Ph.D. in chemistry a month ago. It was a (public) defence of my thesis against the opponents (8 professors). It was very nice to do, the ceremony was great (especially for realtives and friends who never witnessed one.
Nice dinner afterwards and of course a party.
But for a job.....I think I better should have taken an evening course in business or something....nobody does research anymore...all companies just "buy inventions".

Congratulations to all of the other graduates out there!
Personally, I'll be graduating on June 12th (we do things so late out here!) with a BS in Computer Science from Stanford University. There may be a minor in Math tacked on there, paperwork willing. Gogo gadget paperwork! Work your mathemagic!

I'll be graduating from the University of Washington this June with degrees in Physics and Chemical Engineering. Whenever I get around to pushing through the paperwork (I was too busy to do it for this quarter) I'll pick up minors in Math and Chemistry, as well. :) I'm definitely looking forward to being done!

Thank you very much Occhi.
No the real plan is to go to the US for a postdoc for one year. (hopefully then I will understand all the americsan jokes on the lounge :D )
At the moment me and the wife are looking both for a nice research group...at the same university of course, and that is not very easy.

What good has Steam ever done anyone? All it did was make HL/CS a pain to play! :P

Good thing I never have to take chamistry again. I took my required freshman chemistry courses and Thermogoshdarnics and that's all I need. I just need to know how to make buildings not fall down. :)
