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.

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!

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.
