I just noticed **kinoons’s** sig, which refers to him graduating in August. I’m getting my Master’s in May. Who else among is is receiving a degree/diploma/certification/etc. this year? Check in here and share hearty pats on the back! Whatever it is, you’ve worked hard for it and you deserve congratulations! Conversely, I know we have a few Dopers who’ve recently been accepted into various programs-- congrats to you as well, and feel free to brag. ::hanging little '01 tassle from my monitor:: ---

I’ll be finishing up my externship at the end of next month, which means I’ll be eligible for graduation (but the ceremony won’t be until September) from the Le Cordon Bleu in Los Angeles. I gotta brag–I’ll graduate with high honors (had highest score for every class except two). My boyfriend is graduating from college on April 21st. He’ll be getting his B.S. in Computer Science. Thank you for your good wishes :)! ---

I graduate from Law School on May 14th. On May 16th, I have to argue before the State Supreme Court. Guess I’ll have to put off my week-long celebratory drunk until then. ---

My brother doesn’t post or even lurk here, but he graduates from college this May. He’s going on to law school after that. I won’t be able to make it home for his graduation, but I’m damn proud of my lil’ bro. I remember those final weeks of college before I got my BA in '99… wish I could go back and do it all again. Mad props to you, my brother, and all my love. Same for those of you graduating soon. ---

I’m graduating on May 13th from Juniata College with a BA in English and Secondary Education, with a minor in history. Maybe as soon as June I’ll be heading up to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo to work on my MA in Medieval Studies. Hehe… My fiance is following me there. He’s graduating May 12th with a degree in Respiratory Therapy, and he’s already received two job offers in the area. Happy, happy. Huzzah! ~Mag ---

On May 19 I’ll be graduating from the University of Florida law shool. I still have to finish up four credits over the summer, but since there’s no ceremony for July graduates I get to walk in May. That’s six weeks from today! 🙂 Unfortunately with the way my schedule works out, I’ll have to go right back to class two days after the ceremony. Plus I have to study for the Bar, so that doesn’t leave much time for celebrating. Congratulations to all the graduates! ---

BA in English and minors in Latin and Printing and Publishing Arts on May 25th. Then I start the 14 month MA in Education with Teaching Certification program on June 11th. I wish my parents were as proud of me as I am. I guess thats what happens though when you pay your own way through school.
