Magnum coom law day

Today I received a pamphlet in the mail detailing the December commencement ceremony for West Chester University. I checked the newly posted list of graduates on-line, and I was on it with two asterisks by my name, for my Magna cum laude honors. I missed Summa by four one-hundredths of a point. This comes at the end of a month-long battle with the registrar for clearance to graduate this semester.

I've only got one month of classes left in college. I'll save the college retrospective for later. I skipped class today, and plan on doing it again next Wednesday for Ashley's birthday. Commuting from Harrisburg to West Chester for a single class that doesn't take attendance doesn't always seem worth the twenty dollars it costs to make the trip.

My next step is to start testing for employment at the state government. I've got a few openings picked out: human resource trainee, income maintenance caseworker, clerk typist II, and even parole officer. Any would be fine, but I've always wanted to try human resources. Having a real career is frightening, but exciting. Imagine: financial stability!

Also took the tour of the Harrisburg Hospital Maternity and Delivery Wing. We got to see the rooms, the NICU, and the newborns in the nursery. The tour made me very, very excited for the birth. But then again, I'm not the one doing the birth.
