Congratulations, B10P! I have missed you here on CC but one would hope that after 4 years we’d all run out of things to say!

I’m delighted to hear D got a job “in her major.” So often that is not the case. To me, this is where the rubber meets the road - finishing is one thing but getting a job with hopes of independence is the real prize.

My son will graduate one year from now. He’s doing a co-op this summer and fall semester and has 2 remaining classes. We think. We’re not entirely sure but a degree audit is in-process and we no longer torment ourselves over these little details. We do not ask, “in 4 years was it not possible to pick up these two classes here or there?”

In any event, in 50 short weeks I’ll take my place as you did and share your joy and pride.

Thanks for saying hello!
