graduation, sorta
ok.
9 years ago, I rented an apartment and moved here. i ran outta options at Old University, needed a job, and money, and couldnt keep pouring money into college where (at least seemingly) I was never going to finish.
well, i took steps today.
first, i called the registrar's office there and said "can I get my associates? i completed the coursework years ago, and would just like to get it. i cant use the online system, because my id got cancelled years ago."
the registrar's office there transferred me to the Arts and Sciences dept, where the nice lady changed my contact info, added in the "assoc degree program" and transferred me back to the registrar. then, the nice ladies there took care of making it official, taking my cash, and asking if i'd like to "walk."
i laughed. 12 years after i finished the coursework. do i wanna walk? no thanks.
so, i'll graduate june 10 from 12 years of not caring. and in August, I'll get the piece of paper with my name on it.
