Lo and behold! A mere 11 months and 17 days after completing the final, but necessary, course credits, the University of Alberta has actually bestowed my degree parchment upon my person!
I've gotta tell you folks, after finishing school 3 years later than expected, attending my convocation ceremony 10 months after that point (where my name was not in the program nor had they printed my parchment), and then waiting another month for them to mail my parchment (they'd still forgotten to get the damn thing printed!) this whole farce has ended overwhelmingly anti-climacticly.
Let's see, what did I figure I'd be doing at age 25 when I started University at the tender age of 17? With my law degree in hand I'd have already been workin' the legal system for 3 years, well on my way to "Freedom 55."
Such naive, teenage dreams...
...though workin' the rigs to try and afford returning to school for another degree isn't really all that different, right? Clocking in at 27 years old before "entering the real world" shouldn't be my continual, self-imposed shame, should it?
Time to look on the positive side. One goal accomplished, another soon to be!
