Post-Graduation! Modem Burner...

[Zidane]

Well...its over! No more pencils, no more books. I'm done with school (until grad school that is ;-))!

I graduated from the University of Georgia on May 10th.
Bachelor of Business Administration-Finance with Cum Laude honors no less! Haha, not bad for a WIS right? :-d

It was a great ceremony. Our speaker was Justice Thomas. As in Clarence Thomas the supreme court Justice. He was a very moving and inspirational speaker. |>

On Monday the 12th my girlfriend and I left for Fernandina Beach Florida where we have since. We're coming back to GA this Friday!

Her graduation gift to me was a fossil hunt down in the Peace River in Southwest Florida. It was AWESOME! We found tons of fossils, including three meg teeth and two almost complete juvenile Mammoth teeth.

Just wanted to share whats been going on lately and why I have been posting as much. I have had limited access to the internet down here at the condo, but evidently someone just unlocked their wireless access around here so I've been "borrrowing" it. b-)
Graduation pics!

Here's my family. Thats my little sister on the left, shes 17 and a junior in highschool. She'll be attending college soon, not sure where yet!

Here's the only decent pic I could find with a watch in it! haha. This is the diploma frame that my parents bought me. Hopefully my diploma will be in it soon! They take about 4-6 weeks to get mailed out after graduation.


Other good news: I should actually start making money soon! haha. I have one offer on table as of yet, another coming in next week and a few more interviews coming up as well. I'll let you know what happens and what route I decide to take. This is an exciting time!:-!

Thanks for looking!

A big congratulations Nick! Certainly a milestone in your life. Knowing you, You will go far in life. Mom and Dad look happy as clams, probably because they think you'll be getting up off your ass, and gettin a job. I suspect you haven't told them about grad school yet......................David:-)

[curly]

Congrats and good luck!! Looks like you had a great time in Florida!

[spogehead]

Congratulations Nick :-!

Life looks pretty good for you at the moment, hope you get the job you want and be sure to keep us posted.

[SafetyStop]

Big congrats!! Now the real work begins. It's just like school, except now some inept maroon in a managerial position is barking non-sensical orders at you and handing out unreasonable completion dates. Problem is you can't tell him to pound sand because your livelihood is based on him not firing you....so yeah, almosy exactly like school.

[eptaz]

Well done, buddy. You should be proud. You've always seemed to have your head on straight, and I'm sure you'll do well.

By the way, how much did you have to pay that cute girl to pose for that photo with you? Money well spent ;-)

Congratulations Nick. It must be great to finally be done with school (or at least for now). So which Omega will you get to remeber this occasion?

-Ben

[AAP]

Congratulations, Nick! To be honest, I wouldn't go back if I had the chance. I prefer the "real world", despite all of its ups and downs. Happy job hunting! Sky's the limit, buddy.

[Joe K.]

Congrats - its a milestone :-!

Its a great feeling, isn't it? - "Thats it. I am done with school work forever :-)".


Thats why I keep on going back to school time and time again....:-d:-s

[Andrés]

Well done, Nick. Enjoy that very well deserved vacation in FL.

Congrats !

[quatre_temps]

Congratulations :-! You're a strapping young lad with an education and a beautiful girl. Life is good |>

[J.Bond]

Congratulations Nick! Best wishes.

~JB

[Zidane]

Thanks for all of the comments!

I really appreciate all of your kind words.

I do think I am going to pick up another Omega to celebrate. Something that I can keep forever...perhaps a Speedy Pro or another X-33? We'll see, it will likely be one of those two though!

Thanks again fellas!

[Donf]

Congrats Nick!!

Brought back memories of when Fred, Barney and I graduated from Bedrock U.

Don

[rbt]

Congrats, Nick. Diplomas and damsels, don't get no better than that. Here's to a happy and prosperous future.

[Watchdog]

Congrats Nick. I noticed your GF and sister had on similar dresses. Was there a throw down and mud wrestling match when they saw each other. ;-)

[DMB]

I have had limited access to the internet down here at the condo, but evidently someone just unlocked their wireless access around here so I've been "borrrowing" it. b-)


Gee Nick, if you had majored in Pre-Law instead of Business you would know that theft of internet services is a crime and you just gave a confession.:oops: :-d:-d:-d. Congrats man, it's great to be done. Enjoy your vacation. You can turn yourself in when you get back. - David

[Fatpants]

Congrats Nick, good luck:-)

[jimmoose]

A milestone in life, now on to the next chapter. Best wishes for
a wonderful life. There will be a few jobs and many women but no
one can take that education from you. It will always be a part of
you. Now go get a job and quit freeloading. Bet your parents are
glad to be rid of you.
Many, many best wishes Nick!!!
jim

[Justice]

Congrats Nick! Put that education to good use :-!

Did your girlfriend and sister freak-out when they realized they were wearing the same dress? :-d

Congratulations man! Welcome to the working world... until you leave again.

Just remember to find a job that you love to do and you'll never "work" a day in your life!

[beamon]

Well done, Nick. Enjoy your future! :-)

[Frog4Life]

Well done Nick! Just recently graduated myself. On the real world my man!

[watch-man7777]

Congrats Nick! I still have 2 years to go... sigh. May as well enjoy it while I'm here though. Just tapped the keg see ya later.

[jmsrolls]

Congratulations and blessings to you, Nick!

I don't guess we'll see you waiting tables at the OG will we?

And BTW, you need a Speedy Pro to commemorate this event. It will be a lasting memorial.

Fr. John+

[john wilson]

Nick, I know we have never meet but I have always enjoyed your company here at WUS. I feel like I do know you and I'm very proud of you and happy for you. You are a good man...always stay that way. Your thread put a smile on this face. Congratulation Nick!! John Wilson.

[Tuff Gong]

Congratulations on graduating and go have some fun!:-! You deserve it after all the hard work you put in. Cum Laude honors too, wow|>. The most I got was a lousy silver key one semester:-d:-d


Best wishes.
Chris.

[Zidane]

Thanks again guys. You made my day with all of your kind comments.

*I just noticed that my sister and gf are wearing scarily-similar dresses...weird. Sadly, no mud-wrestling ensued. :)

[Tuff Gong]

Sadly, no mud-wrestling ensued. :)

Dude, one of them is your SISTER!?!?:-s:think::-s:rodekaart

You, your family and your GF should be proud of your achievement.
