Freedom!

I can’t tell you how free I feel! The other day I took a book with me to read while waiting for my little girl to get out of Wing Chun class. She asked, “Aren’t you tired of reading?” I said, “No, I’m just excited to be able to read what I want to, and not what I have to.”

I took my first college course in 1987. On Monday, April 29, I took my last. Over those 25 years I completed 10 years of actual schooling, four of which was non-accredited. Now, after all of that, it is so exciting to realize that I can pick up anything I want to study without having to worry about a grade.

[By the way, I completed my Masters with a 3.67 GPA!]

Thanks!

I want to thank David, Nick, Chris, and Jessie for filling in during my absence. The posts they wrote while I was taking time off to finish seminary were truly appreciated. If I do decide to go back one day for a higher degree, I hope they’re still around.

I would also like to thank all of the new followers who have come along in the last few weeks. Some of you will cancel once you realize what you’ve actually subscribed to – but I hope not.

Now, what do I write about first?

  3. I’m glad you’re back! I have this little note taped to my desk–“Posts for Anthony!!” But I could only come up with that one, and barely any for my own.

    Now you can take back over and I’m glad for it. πŸ™‚

  4. Congratulations!!! I know exactly how you feel, although I’ll admit I’ve been out of grad school for over 18 months and I still have only been reading silly YA books or crime novels. Maybe your post-school-brain-laze won’t stretch as long as mine πŸ™‚
