At the table with the popular kids, making fun of
Fucking A!! :hotjump: I just recieved my grades from last semester, for some crazy reason, I still have a 4.0 in my masters program :err: I have now taken the whole series of on line course, and have taken several on various campuses. I now have one summer course left, a practicum, and a seminar, before my final portfolio presentation. This means I am basically done. Pay raise, and no more college EVER!!!!! What's awesome is that in high school, before hard drugs and liquor abuse, I had a 2.89. At OU, while being introduced to acid, coke, pot, sex with soriety girls, and 30 some bars per block, I got a 3.33. Now, with a failing liver, damaged kidneys, cancerous lungs, and a broken heart, I have a 4.0. It's like that episode of WKRP where Dr. Johnny Fever got better and better and driving reaction time the more booze he drank, much to the chagrin of the State Highway Patrol. :tickled:
 
Congrats! Something to be proud of no doubt. I'd really like to go back for my masters just to say I have a masters degree but considering I don't even use my degree now it would be a waste of my time.
You're story about how them more you abuse your brain the smarter you get reminds me of my wife. She was a real goody good in high school and gradutated with around a 2.5. She wasn't even planning on going to college until I talked her into it and she ended up graduating near the top of her class despite my bad influence rubbing off on her. She's since got her masters, rank 1, and just found out she passed national boards last month. Funny how shit works out like that.
 
I am in the first semester of a masters program, don´t know of the American scholarship system very much, but congrats...

I think in America Grad school gets easier in programs such as education, fine arts, and humanities.
However, when you are talking about MBA's, law school, and med school, the difficulty keeps going up and up. I just can't wait to be finished. I have been a student of something since 1981.

I've heard that the National Boards are tougher than hell!!! That is awesome for your wife. One of the hotties I work with wanted me to go through the Nat. Board Certification w/ her, but I just have too much on my plate right now. I will probably do it somewhere down the road, because it gets you much more $$$$$$$$$$bling$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$bling$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Congrats very much! I will always remember the moments after I finished my last final in Medical Virology at the University of Florida...I knew I was done after 4 years of tough college with NO breaks. I went to a grocery store with some friends after the exam, and I remember walking around in a total trance, still not believing I was finally done. I devoted every second of my life to school since I was in junior high, and I felt total freedom. I finished with a 3.4 in pre-med...then got rejected from med school because they said I needed a 3.8 or better. Oh well, now I'm in a kick-ass band and am partying like hell, so no regrets. I make good enough money. I sure would have liked to be a doctor and help people though, but that's life. GO GATORS!! (Shut-up you guys...)
