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!!!

You sound like my Rose. The only dress she has in her closet is her wedding dress from eons ago. She's not the dress type. She tells me that she's as comfortable in a dress as I would be in hockey equipment. :o)
Nice pants and a dress shirt sound good to me! Enjoy your day!

Hello you little cutie patootie :)
Okay, got a grandparent story for ya!
After the graduation ceremony my uncle asks everyone, "Well, what did you think about the commencement speaker?" My grandmother replies..."He was one long winded sap!"
Graduation ceremony story-
After the handing out of the degrees and after the prayer, a person yells out...
"Get her done!" --You might be a redneck if you yell out..."Get her done," during the benediction of a graduation ceremony. hehe
One more gradparent story. Are you ready? We are seated at Cracker Barrel. The waitress asks my grandmother if she wants cheese on her eggs. I've never heard a 70+ year old woman sound like Mr. T until then. "NOooooooo!"
So, each time we are at Cracker Barrel and my grandmother orders eggs, I grab the table to brace myself, look up at the ceiling to ease my embarassment, and get ready for the Mr. T..."NOoooooooooooo!" She says "No" like she's about to bite someone's head off.
Then, I meekly say to the waitress, "I'm sorry. She's allergic to cheedar cheese."
