On May 6th at 4 pm, I'll be attending the graduation ceremony at my college. I'm graduating with an Associate of Applied Science Information Systems. Now, I've gotten some strange looks from people when they ask me what my degree will be in. So, I'm listing in quotes the college description of my degree.
"The Information Systems curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for employment with organizations that use computers to process, manage, and communicate information. This is a flexible program, designed to meet community information systems needs.
Course work includes computer systems terminology and operations, logic, operating systems, database, data communications/networking, and related business topics. Studies will provide experience for students to implement, support, and customize industry-standard information systems.
Graduates should qualify for a wide variety of computer-related, entry level positions that provide opportunities for advancement with increasing experience and ongoing training. Duties may include systems maintenance and troubleshooting, support and training, and business applications design and implementation."
I am more excited than I can fully explain right now. I feel like Jack on Will and Grace. You've seen the scene where he has had too many latte's or coffees and he's talking so fast it is hard to understand him? That's me right now. I've had too much Diet Coke. I should only be drinking caffeine free products. Caffeine makes me hyper. Very, very hyper. I'm like a kid. Somebody probably wants to spank me right now. If it were the right woman, I wouldn't mind. LOL
Well, thanks for letting me share my good news. Believe it or not, my father sent me a card and money. My father hasn't made contact with me in years. I was so shocked. I actually was afraid to open the card. He has in the past has been verbally abusive. And, of course when I was a kid he was physically abusive. It was definitely a shock to say the least. My coworkers gave me a card with all their siggies and good wishes. I'm expecting company over the weekend. I could go on and on. But, I'll save you the extra reading.
Yippee!!!

WaaaaHOOOOOO that is so great Bug!! What a awesome accomplishment. And what a co-winky-dink.. I have the same degree! But I graduated awhile ago ;-) I was developer for a while, but decided I wanted more people contract, so I moved into Software Testing.
Btw, where are you attending? I went to a local community college called Wake Technical Community College. Sending a giant hug - Pooh Bear
I'm really excited for you, Bug! You've worked so hard ... I hope you enjoy every minute of your graduation ceremony, and that the glow lasts for weeks!! It's cool that your Dad sent the card, in spite of his behaviour in the past. But take it easy on that caffeine woman, lol.. you'll get your mom all a-flutter then everybody will be anxious *grin*
Congratulations
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO Bug!
I know how hard you have worked for this!

Hey! Thanks for your kind wishes!
I'll soon be job hunting. I've noticed quite a few jobs up around Raleigh. I'm the opposite- I like creating alone. I do mostly web related tasks right now on my current job. You know, graphics, html, and marketing/advertising. I like to be put in a corner and told to create. It is what I do best. I also like hardware. I'm thinking about trying for an A+ certification.
I'll drop you an email or you can email me through my profile, and I'll tell you where I attended college.
Thanks again!

Thanks Lou and Nony,
My mom told me last night to get some rest. So, I slept until around 8:30 this morning. That was hard enough to do. I cannot sleep late!

Thanks for the happy dance Caly!

Now you should have at least one dress in your closet. It doesn't have to be sexy or anything. But just in case(that's what I call them the just in case dresses)you need one (like now) you have one.
But it really doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as your there!

Don't forget water does a body GOOD!
