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!!!

Thanks Pam!
Did you know that half of the graduating class consisted of those in the nursing program! We had two ceremonies. One at 4 and the other at 7 pm. I chose the 4 pm. Well, in my degree category, I was the only one at the 4 pm ceremony. I ended up being seated near all the nurses. LOL They were a talkative bunch. Fun too!

Thanks Kim. During the commencement address, I wanted to shed a tear, but I held it back. The speaker was a chancellor from Appalachian State University. He said at one point in his speech about something he had accomplished in 1965. Then, he commented that the reaction was that people couldn't believe he remembered events dating back to 1965. There was a bit of a chuckle from those seated. I felt a bit sad and thought that one day, I'll recall an event in my life from let's say 1985, and there will be some who will wonder how I remembered that far back. Life is too short and happens way too fast.
It feels good to be finished and yet it feels a bit sad too. Odd huh!
Thanks again,
bug
Thanks Jules for your kind words!
