    With my PhD! Finally after all these long years.

    The funny thing tho is that I'm walking through the ceremony, but not getting my diploma... yet. For that, I have to -- like -- finish my dissertation. And I'm almost done, but the real big obstacle is my oral defense, which is next week. Isn't that weird, graduating before the biggest step in your program? It's great to be graduating and all, but it feels a little fake, y'know? But I'll be getting full honors tomorrow. And then I'll pardee!!

    Anyway, Sunday should be a great day.... :)))

    leolaia,

    : With my PhD! Finally after all these long years.

    That is so awesome! I'm happy for you. I never took advantage of opportunities like that. First, it was the WT religion and 1975, then after that, it was being the father of four children and all the attendant financial responsibilities of that. Then, it just felt too old to pursue college. I just gave up, I guess.

    My only academic claim to fame is in my oldest daughter Jennifer. She is now in her second year of residency as an OB/GYN. She followed her dream against many obstacles, but NONE of those obstacles were her being raised in the JW religion. She never set a foot inside a Kingdom Hall. Never read a single piece of Watchtower crap. I made sure of that.

    Again: mucho kudos to you!

    P.S. Good luck on your oral defense! If you do half as well as you do posting here on the board, you'll ace it!!!
