Woohoo!! I got my Masters Degree!

Well, it's been a long time coming. I've been over, under, around and sometimes through a shit ton of obstacles to get here, but it's over! I graduated on December 13th, 2008...finally! It took me 5 years to finish my BA (took a brief hiatus by joining the military about 50 hours into an AS) but all told, I think I had a decent experience, classwise, at USF. The admin and support sectors of that school are horrific, but I had excellent professors, interesting and relevant classes, and there was plenty of fun to go around as well. Had a couiple of people get in my way, but they got sorted out naturally, so no problems there. I'm just glad to be done. I didn't walk during the ceremony (hell, I didn't even GO to the ceremony), opting to go work on my rifle-to-pistol transitions and some mid range rifle shooting instead. That was way more fun that sitting in a traffic jam going into the parking lot, swimming through a sea of undergrads, sitting through a boring 2 hour ceremony where they shake your hand and give you a rolled up, blank piece of paper, then sitting through another 2 hour traffic jam just to go eat with mommy and daddy at the same crowded ass resturaunt that all 2500 other undergrad and grads are shoehorning themselves into. Fuck that, I'd rather shoot shit! Besides, I had to help a friend out at work anyway, so it worked out. I hate saying no to friends. Besides, I've never been one for to stand on ceremony. The job I got and the beautiful woman I met are rewards enough for me.
