Finally Graduating!

Although this post is a little late, I am very excited that I have finally graduated! I have been working on my Master's of Business Administration degree for the last two years. Commencement was May 2, 2008 at the Browning Center. I can't get too comfortable yet, though I walked in May I have some coursework to finish this summer. After that I will finally be free!

Not to take away from all of the work I put in for my Bachelor's degree, but this was definitely something cool to be achieving. It was interesting to realize at commencement how few women were receiving the MBA. They have you come on stage one at a time as a Master's grad and the dean "hoods" you. So there I am center stage by myself being hooded, they put the thing down around my neck and out of habit I reacted like such a girl- I reached up and flipped my hair out of the way. I didn't think about it, just reacted, but in the middle of all of those guys here I am front and center flirting with my hair!

I have been keeping a list of all of the books I want to read now that I will have more time and not be reading textbooks. If anyone has any suggestions let me know! I'm also hoping to take a vacation sometime during the fall with my hubby - thats right, a vacation in the middle of what would have been a normal semester!! There will also be lots of things to do around our new house and I think Casey can be excited to see me home (and not studying) most nights of the week -maybe even a hot dinner or two!

My in-laws were even nice enough to come support me!

And of course my dad on Weber State's campus chasing a goose after commencement. For those of you who know my dad, you know this isn't that unusual
