"It's Over Johnny! It's Over!" well, I hope it is...


HOLY SMOKES! I just received an email that I passed my George Washington Graduate Comprehensive Exams!

This is such a relief. If all else goes as planned, I will graduate in June 2006. Hey, it's only been 3 years...

A party is in order, just not right now! In keeping with my long time promise, it will include an open bar and a moon bounce (long story).

Bear with me. This is a huge deal considering what I managed to endure while I was attending school.

Although I still need to finish this semester and take one additional elective course in the spring, its all down hill from here. All I can think about at this point is, 'damn I am broke!'

P.S. Above is an actual photo of my desk during one of my weekends when I was 24 hours shy of submitting a research paper.

Secretly - that desk doesn't look so bad. My desk in college looked like that, and then some (also, there was always a cold 40 around there somewhere - a must have for writing papers about fixed income).

Congrats! Finishing grad school is such a great feeling, you'll definitely want to savor it. Save me a spot in line for the moon bounce! :-)

Are there 3 computers set up there?

Congrats! That's fantastic. Don't fret-it will take me 4 years to finish law school, and I haven't even finished yet!

And a moon bounce? Must elaborate!

Cookie - In your honor, for my last paper, I will introduce a Colt 45. Thanks for the tip.

Miss M, Stef, Shark Bait, and Wicked - Moonbounce is always a crowd pleaser.

Smash - Yes, there were three laptops present. When doing research, its always easier to have "the Google" on full time standby.

Chase - Thanks

BJ - I am going to print your comment and treat it like a free drink coupon at the next BHH.

Chase and DcSC - thanks Ladies.

CONGRATS! My desk looks like that for no good reason. Actually, it isn't even a desk, it is the dining room table. Sigh...

Congratulations on getting through this hurdle.
