    I'm finishing college tomorrow

    Tomorrow evening I'm going to drive to school and take my final final.

    I will have completed the curriculum for my Associate Degree in Computer Programming.

    It's an economics final, and I only need to score a 60% on it to make an A for my final class average.

    My coursework is done in my other class I took this quarter, an English class, in which I will get an A in as long as the teacher gives me at least a 68% on the research paper I just turned in.

    If I get these A's, I will be finishing college with a 3.9 GPA!

    I'm going to go to work full-time soon after, spending at least a couple years becoming financially independent before I think about furthering my education again.

    Right now I'm honestly very burnt out from the whole school routine, and I need to change things up for awhile.

    Not a bad idea. I took a lot of time off from school and I wasn't even as far as you are now. It did me a lot of good. I explored my interests, had interesting experiences, and learned a lot more about what I want to do. Returning to further my education has been very rewarding because I didn't just blindly go through the motions like it was expected of me.

    Well, I was going to be working for my Java professor in his business, but he's had a recent falling out with his partner, and needs 6 months to get another business set up. I don't want to wait for that, so I'm going to have to get my advisor's assistance and do some job hunting. So in short, I don't know right now. I'd like to work with my professor when he gets things going with his new business, but I don't know what kind of involvement I'm going to be in with whatever job I pick up in the interim.

    College accomplishments are always a good thing... congrats Glenn.
    If you love... love without reservation. If you fight... fight without fear.

    Congrats. I'm just now starting my first quarter. Two years after I graduated high school but medical problems can slow you down.

    Your major could not be anymore different from mine.
