In a fit of misplaced enthusiasm Dartmouth College is awarding me a degree in linguistics this coming Sunday.
At this point I’m alternating between thinking “oh dear god, where did the time go?” “Why in God’s name am I going directly to grad school?” and “mmm… women.” In short, it’s business as usual.
I know I don’t hang around here so much anymore, but I figured that some of you all might like an update for old times sake.
Cheers,
Andy
Every congratulation, babe. I knew you’d make it with flying colours 
hugs and do try to come up here soon – I miss you!
I’m hoping to some time over the summer. I’m in H-town until the end of July, whereupon I intend to pack up all of my worldly posessions and get myself to grad school. It should be vastly entertaining, or at least be a hell of a road trip.
I have to admit that I’ve been breaking into fits of giggling over the thought of being done here. After a weeklong bender where I finished an epic paper of the history of the phonemic principle… yeah, it’s nice to have a two month reprieve from academia.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Woohoo! Congratulations and good luck with your future plans.
Best Wishes!
wait, that’s a different thread…
mmm… women…
Well done, and congrats, andygirl! Good luck to you in grad school.
Woohoo!
Congrats, babe. 
andygirl, I am very proud of you. I know you had obstacles to overcome and issues to confront during your college years. While confronting and dealing with those issues, you still managed to do what it took to get your education and remain true to your own YOU. You will go on to grad school…and one day, I am CERTAIN that I will be saying to people…“I KNOW HER! I KNOW THAT MARVELOUS WOMAN!!! How on earth did I ever get so LUCKY?”
God Bless, darling. And…CONGRATULATIONS!
My Love,
Cheri
Congratulations! Here’s hoping your graduation day isn’t quite as bloody hot as mine was.
And look at the bright side - I only had a week between graduation & the start of grad school.
I want to add my congratulations. I know I don’t know you, really, but I’m going to be presumptuous and keep on feeling strangely proud of you anyway. Knock em dead in grad school!
Congratulations!
All the best people have degrees in linguistics …
Congratulations!
Wow, I remember when you graduated from high school! Where does the time go? Congrats, sweetie.
Congratulations, Andy! Enjoy those two weeks of freedom!
Indeed!
Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. It’s a little overwhealming- I’m so excited.
And I guess I’ll get to know the Colorado dopers soon, eh?
You go, girl! 
If I may ask, where are you going to grad school? I have a good (and very cool) friend who’s graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder next semester.
That’s where I’ll be.
