Well it’s final. I have my degree (in spirit and ASU’s computer system). I’ll have to wait for the paper version in a few months. I’m sure I’ll get lots of people mailing me to ask for my money in making it laminated and wall-mountable.

I fully intend to live up to the responsibility to what I earned. Just because a person has a degree doesn’t mean they deserve laud and honor. Hopefully their behavior and willingness to give back to the people that supported them in their effort to earn it come into play as well.
