I celebrated earning my Master of Science in Administrative Studies in mid-May when I participated in Boston College’s Commencement exercises.
Then I celebrated my degree when I finished my final grad class at the end of June.
Now it’s October 30 and I am celebrating for the 3rd and final time. My VP contacted the Vice Provost of Faculties and she took care of my “situation” regarding the prerequisite undergrad computer course I was supposedly missing. I can’t even begin to describe how ridiculous the situation was. While I was initially upset, it’s quite laughable now. (The dean had suggested I take a course in Video Games to enjoy the learning experience. Wow.) I am SO happy to officially be done with school, and will have my updated transcript and a copy of my diploma next week.
I didn’t think I’d be celebrating my graduation SO many times. Twice was plenty! I appreciated everyone’s nice comments throughout the week. I was really stressed about the whole situation. My coworkers and the higher-ups are awesome for helping this issue get resolved!
