Just yesterday I was moaning in some thread about how I’m probably never going to get my degree, and today I have been proven wrong! It was the deadline to submit grades for the semester today and my statistics professor (with whom I have been doing an independent study and is…flakey) emailed me today that I have passed the class and my grade has been submitted. That means I am DONE. DONE DONE DONE. Victory is mine! Now where’s my job, dammit? ---
