I graduated from college
As some of you know, I have been taking classes at University of Phoenix. I found out today that I have graduated with honors. I got a Bachelors of Science in Information Technology. I am super proud of myself. I worked my ass off.

This is the graduation this past July. I got to walk because I was within 9 credits.

8. You wouldn't believe.
It's great for me and my fiance. I have been at it for 3 straight years. It was a sacrifice for both of us. I have a lot more time for her now. She asks me if I have homework or something to do. Thanks!

That is great! I failed out of college the first time around. When I went back and did it on my own I graduated with honors -both my undergrad and my graduate degree. What a great feeling! Go out and celebrate!

Good luck with your job hunting. I know that IT jobs are hard to come by since baby Bush took over.

Aren't those on-line courses?

Where did you, or whoever, take the tests?

39. They are online
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 12:12 AM by Bleachers7
I didn't take many tests. I had to write a ton of papers. 99% of graded work was based on writing.

What are you implying by "whoever?"
