School's Out Forever...

Well…I did it. Sunday marked the last day of my DePaul University commitments as I walked across the stage at Allstate Arena, and received my diploma from the Hollywood Priest. I call him that because he has made that slightly grown out stubble look part of his image, which seems a little bizarre for a man of the cloth. It’s not like that’s going to get him any ladies, but I guess it might possibly set him up with some young…well, never mind. There were no pyrotechnics, smoke machines, or inflatable Blue Demon heads from which I got to run out; but after all the graduates received their diplomas, there was a pretty sweet laser light show. I apologize for the quality of the picture, but it is a screen grab from my eldest brother, Pat, who was watching over the Internet in California. Now that’s a good brother...sitting through a three hour ceremony half way across the country when he could have just as easily ignored the whole thing. Hell, if I could have skipped it, I probably would. I’ll have more details from the big day tonight at 7pm, so be sure to join us then!

Here's another shot featuring my folks and I outside the arena. I tried to avoid wearing the goofy hat for as long as possible.

Congratualations Grad!

Now it's on to the Real World. It's all downhill from here!

Congratulations, Matt! I'm proud to be your godmother. I think I did a fine job getting you to adulthood...well, I guess you honestly get the credit for that. Have fun on vacation!

Congrats grad....been listening and watching you since you were conceived...I feel like you are my son...I am so proud....

It's a great feeling to be done with college, isn't it? I am a teacher so it seems like I am never done going to classes but I can remember when I got my bachelor's degree a few years ago...what a feeling of relief.
The message your mom posted on Janet's World is a keeper! I hope you printed it out and saved it because she sounds like a wonderful mom.

Oops, that's Janet's Planet! Sorry, I know your mom isn't part of Wayne's World. ha ha
