Perfect score Dec. 19th, 2006

I graduated from my College today.  It was not an actual graduation ceremony.  That will not take place until May since I finished my curriculum in the fall semester.  However, I passed all my remaining classes to receive my degree.  That to me, is graduating.  On top of all that, I finished out my most arduous semester yet with all 'A's.  I took 16 credit hours this semester, which was the most I had taken in the past 2 1/2 years.  I finished out with an overall GPA of 3.61 for the 64 credit hours I accumulated.  So I am the first in my family to get a college degree.  Others have tried but found Manual Labor to be more financially prominent.  Little did anyone in my family know that after 25 years of digging a ditch, your body deteriorates.  I; however; will be making the exact same wage as they do, but I will make it within 2 or 3 years instead of 25.  Also, my body will not sustain any damage from said work.  So, I took three exams today and aced them all.  I am still amazed at my potential, and the best part is I didn't study for any of the classes except Acting I.  I had to do the work in that one because it was hands on work.  The other classes I just showed up for the lectures and listened.  I didn't even buy books in two of them.  The last time I tried that I got a 'C' in Economics.  The only 'C' grade in the 2 1/2 years actually.  But I figured what do I have to lose.  And it turned out to be the smartest money not spent.  Those damn books would have run me another 200 bux.  Anyway, I am going to take Northeastern seriously.  I only gave 50 % most of the time at Triton.  So imagine what I can do if I gave it my all.  We shall see.  I would love to finish with honors at Northeastern.  I think my Masters Degree gets paid for if I finish in the top 5% of my class.
Well, that was my day, and on Thursday at 8PM I am on vacation until January 3rd.  So, life is good on my end, I hope it is on yours too.

Later
