FREE AT LAST
I took my last exam this morning.
I will be graduating on Saturday.
Thank you everyone who helped with my A paper on abortion!
I'm so so happy to be done!

If you all bought me drinks, I'd probably have too much, but I would still love the warmth of the company. Would that be a great time OR WHAT?!?
Thanks Rope and Pooky, that means a lot!
I feel like you guys are my real parents! (don't tell the good dr.!)
Will work for lots of money,
LTZ

Pip and I both live with the man.
Blue chair lives with his blue ottoman empire of couches and other couch like things, with stoops suitable for royalty, and whitehouse-burning, fanatic countrymen who care for snow and little else.
Perhaps the man's got a shot and now he's dead, 45.
Who wants to hire me? I'd be good in Boston, Toronto or even the beautiful city of Alabama.
My goal is to someday work in the public affairs division of the US embassy in Winnipeg and snowmobile my way to the top.
All I need is a simple twist of fate...
or a simple box of pine.

LTZ,
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Now you are going to end up doing mortuary work with that degree!! It never fails, most people do work that has nothing to do with their degree.
Now, if you stay in school...you don't have to start paying back those student loans....maybe you should go for a doctorate....like Diana.

congratulations LTZ!! big, major accomplishment!!
and, uh, I'm forty years old and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. my five year old daughter told me this morning that she couldn't decide: rock star, teacher or McDonald's. (!!!!) the world is full of possibilities...

Ummm, would you like fries with that?
It is true that a lot of people end up working in a field that is unrelated to their field of study. Sometimes I feel it is unfair to start college at 17 or 18 and be required to have an architectural design plan for the rest of your life - mapping out exactly four years of study and knowing exactly what you want to do. And then starting to do it when you're 22 or 23 and doing that same one thing until you retire or die.
I'm not even remotely the same person I was when I started college, so it just doesn't make sense that you decide something so important at a time filled with constant changes and uncertainty in your life. Although it worked for DrS, but I think some people get lucky. He would have never finished his PhD so young if he hadn't loved what he did from the beginning. But it really doesn't happen that way very often.
LTZ, be comfortable with who you are right now and embrace change in the future. Welcome new ideas and be open to new possibilities. The world is ever changing and so are we as people. It's important to realize that not only during a time like graduation, but also for marriage.
God, I really do sound like your parent now!

Congrats, LTZ.
Yeah Spooky, there's no such thing as taken for granted long term job stability anymore, so you (anyone) might as well enjoy any apparent diversions along the way.
I don't get the plastics reference, but I ended up designing shampoo bottles straight out of uni (industrial design), when I thought I'd be the next Charles Eames or something... it wasn't glamourous.

Congratulations, Young Man. I'm sure you will find something productive and interesting to do with your life, and remember that you are never locked into anything.
Moody, my 8-year-old daughter says she want to be "a famous rock-and-roll drummer", so maybe the girls could start a band. I think my 2-year-old will be an exotic dancer, given his love for naked dancing.
LTZ, maybe you could think about those as possible careers?

Wanna buy some "Mandies", Bob?
Twenty years of schooling, and they put you on the day shift
Look out kids, they got all hid!

CONGRATULATIONS LTZ!!!!!!!!
graduating is a feat. i too graduated in december, many years ago.
(and i re-upped for more school? sick.)
don't worry too much. what you do now won't be what you do 10 yrs from now, or likely even five. life is changeable.
and, HAVE FUN. best thing to do, have fun.

Plastic people
I'm into polystyrenes, myself.
That, and leather...

Congrats! Have fun this weekend!
And know that you are not locked into any job or career, ever.
I always felt that my life was going to go in cycles of 5 years, which has been approximately right. 5 years in college, 5 years of marriage before kids (can't give them back after 5 years though), 6 years in Business...and now I teach--Which I actually love doing. I may be in that for longer than 5 years, but not forever. I couldn't be one of those people who teaches the same thing in the same classroom for 35 years.
It's never too late to change gears completely.
I have a relative who went back to school to get a nursing degree at age 50. My brother started law school around 30.
The oldest freshman at my univ. was an 83 year old lady who had survived a concentration camp in Germany. She still had a number tatooed on her arm. She had sent all of her kids to college and had always wanted to go, so she did. She graduated before me!
Life is lived at all ages.
