That sound you would have just heard if you were in my home office instead of, well, wherever you are? Was my trusty Xerox XD100 printing out the RFP that is my last graduate-school assignment ever.
Well, okay, maybe not. It’s not entirely out of the question that I would take a graduate-level course or two in order to learn something. But degree-seeking? No way. Not ever again.
It is very, very good to be done, yes indeed. I’m even all caught up on thank-you notes for contributors to the class gift. I think I shall go indulge in chocolate-covered almonds now (and no, not those nasty Hershey’s things, either; I got the good stuff from the crunchy-granola store this morning).
By the way, I unearthed last year’s graduation-ceremony program and learned from it that the Berger Award is voted on by faculty on the basis of leadership and leadership potential. That makes me just silly happy; I have been working rather hard on my attitude toward and understanding of management and leadership, and it’s just nice to see that somebody noticed.
