Title: Summa Cum Laude
Post by catlind on Aug 17th, 2005, 5:02pm
Well I am just finishing off the final touches on my Capstone Thesis and then I am finished school!  I am proud to announce that I will be graduating Jan 26 (they only have 2 ceremony dates, jan and mar) Summa Cum Laude, with a 4.0 GPA, Bachelor of Computer Science Degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long and interesting year of completing the remaining courses I needed to get my degree, but I can finally say I are edumacated!!  I'd like to say thanks to all those who gave me encouragement along the way, and supported my decision to pursue this dream even though it meant leaving OUCH.

I am hoping to have an all out graduation party Jan. 26 in Davenport.  Well I have to be here in Omaha for the Ceremony, but I can take lots of pics and bring them to Davenport, maybe even arrive in my cap and gown ;).  Soooooooo anyone who wasn't going to go to Davenport, or wasn't decided, I would like to cordially invite you to meet other clusterheads and join in the celebration of my graduation :)

Is that the same as this from Jimi's post:

She is, "VOCALLY APPRECIATIVE."

Congrats Cat.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

What a wonderful feeling it is, too...isn't it?  I was never so relieved as when I finished!

4.0 too!  That's phenomenal!  I did that my freshman year at Penn State, and then maybe one other time...but otherwise, I left the straight A's behind in high school!;)


Really take some time to  celebrate big!!!

Carrie :)

Another year or so and I get my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. I'm close to a 4.0... somewhere around a 2.3 ::)...but Im over half-way there.

Great going.

Cat congratulations thats inspiring!
Will you be bringing the whole family? Looks like we have kids of pretty much the same age so that could be fun (for fun read wholesale devastation  ;) )
See you there!!

Post by catlind on Aug 18th, 2005, 4:23pm
Thanks all for the congrats :)  I am pretty happy about it all :)
Of course I just talked with my Mom today and she wants to come to the graduation ceremony...so I have to figure out a way to tell her not to come, or to come and then come with me to Davenport hehe.  Somehow I don't know if that would be to her liking!  I just can't miss Davcon, I want to party with my other family to celebrate!

Helen, yes I will be bringing the whole fam damily.  3 kids, Alex is 13, Andrea is 11 and Ayden is 5.  They had a great time the last time we were there :)
