Ridiculous!
Those who know me know I have been going to school for a very long time. Forever, in fact. Yes, forever! It never ends. I’ve taken about a million classes. Yes, a million! And no, I am not prone to exaggeration. Why do you ask?
I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (can I get a HALLELUJIAH?), and today I stopped by my advisor to make sure things were on track. As she was scrolling through my millions (yes, millions!) of credits she noticed I had not officially applied to receive my associate’s degree even though I am qualified for it. I suppose I was so focused on the bachelor’s that I never really thought about the associate’s, but I figured I should get that taken care of. If nothing else, at least it will help me feel like I accomplished something.
So, I just logged into the school website and went through the degree application process. Everything was going swimmingly until I reached the last step: paying $20 to apply for graduation. Whaaaa…??? I assumed the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I spent in tuition over the years would cover the whole degree thing!
How foolish of me!
Aargh!!

UGH!!!!!
Not to mention text books, and parking stickers, and extra school fees…..it’s such a joke!
Awesome that you have your associates, though. Good job!
So I thought today would be a little warmer when I told you we’d be at the playground all day:( maybe another day.
