After graduating yesterday, today I'm ... sitting in the school library, actually. I finished my last paper pretty late, so its defense is this afternoon. As soon as I finish that I'm ... not quite done with my undergraduate work yet, since I have to take a math class at George Mason and transfer it back here to finish my minor. So really, the only thing that changed yesterday was the tan on my face, which has a line across my forehead from wearing a mortarboard in the sun all day.
And not much has changed in the big picture, either. Four years ago I was working full-time at my crap job and not going to school. As soon as I finish this defense this afternoon, I get to spend the summer ... working full-time at my crap job and not going to school. Wait! I know something that's different! Four years ago I was the new guy that everyone liked because nobody knew him. Now that I've been at my crap job for so long, all my coworkers have gotten to know me, and now they all hate me. So I've got that going for me.

Congratulations on your sort of graduation, your awesome tan line, and being hated by all!
You forgot the best part... now people will ask you about your undergraduate degree and you can say that YOUR EARNED IT at KU (past tense). No one will look at you and wonder why you aren't in grad school when you show up to church in your new ward.
You're such a "glass is half full" kind of guy! Congrats on your graduation and on moving on to new adventures. I knew you back when you were working at your job in Cali (and demonstrating in favor of the war!) and you swore you'd NEVER graduate! Take that, old self! If you could time travel you could really stick it to that guy. Do you watch Lost? It could totally happen. You rock!
Congrats Dr. Bransen...YEEEESSSS!
