A degree, Finally!


Well, I am really not one to brag about my accomplishments, but I have to tell the world that I have finally obtained a degree! I just received my Associate's degree in Behavioral Health/Human Services with a certificate in Addiction Studies from CCP. All of my friends and family know that I have been working on this darn thing for the past five years! Now on to my Bachelor's - thanks to Erin who turned me on to Bellevue University I should be able to accomplish that in 15 months, they don't let you mess around! I can't wait!! I will be starting in February (loan money willing!)

You go girl! (wait, do people still say that? or is that like passe? ...like "gag me with a spoon" - it was in, but now it's out?

Anyway, I am proud of you, though I think I am deserving of some of the praise, afterall, I do recall working feverishly on your assignments!! Hee hee!! Just kidding, of course, I know you put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears - glad you did it!

No, there is a bit of truth to that, I must admit. There was that one paper (the "religious" one) for my Environmental Science class that I did appreciate your few pages of input (and all of the proofreading you did!). Remember how mad you were when I got a "B" on it and we thought maybe the teacher was atheist! (BTW, she did re-grade it to an "A" after I stated my case) I think John can say the same for the paper that I did on the Pledge of Allegiance. That's one thing - I could ace any test with hardly any studying but when it came to the papers - that was hard work!

Hey, what about the presentation I put together for you on Energy. I was proud of that one. That was good.

You came into my office at like 1 in the afternoon saying that you had to give a presentation at school at like 5pm and had NOTHING. Wait, I think you actually had a crinkled piece of construction paper that you were going to draw on or something? Plus you had a meeting for work to go to, so I promptly jumped on the assignment and pushed out a powerpoint presentation for you.

Glad you ended up with an A. I couldn't have lived with myself if I had earned you a B!

I have faught with Sylvia's professors as well to get her an A on assignments that I had "helped" her with. I remember that she got a "B" on a resume assignment that I did for her. I was all over that professor asking him about his credentials, I was like, listen, I'm in HR and my husband is a professional recruiter - I think I know what a decent resume looks like. Oh boy - I was on fire with that one. He did end up changing her grade though...

Oh, yeah I forgot about that one! I must have had a really tough time that semester because both of those assignments were for the same professor. That was right when I started my "planner/buyer" gig!
