Graduation Checklist

[trickykitty]

I am reminded again of the strange fact that despite receiving a bachelor's of science in AI research and development, my degree is being conferred by the UTA School of Urban and Public Affairs. I will be so happy to get far far away from UTA's asshattery as soon as possible.

Commencement: Sunday, May 11, 2008, Texas Hall at UTA, 12:30pm
(This to me will be stranger than hell walking the stage a full three months before finishing my last class. Must to stay focused after commencement.)

Things to purchase: Cap, Gown, Latin cord, Announcements
Everything says to order these from the UTA Bookstore, but apparently it has to be done in person since there's not a damn thing on their website about graduation stuff. Mostly I wanted to check the color of the cap and gown. It would be funny as hell if it was the same bright blue that my high school one was, in which case I could just wear the same one I already have - provided it still fits. (geminibalance, do you remember what color it is?)

Confirm with Academic Dean's Office how many tickets I am receiving for the commencement ceremony.

Meet with McNair advisor and receive McNair stole - to be done in April

By the way, this is where I throw one of the biggest fits known to man (rules are the same across Texas) - B-On-Time Loan Program.
If something like this existed when I first started college, you better believe I would have graduated in 3-4 years. To not have school loans to pay would be the biggest blessing in the world. Young snots have it fucking easy as shit. There is no reason in the world for them to not all have degrees.

Isn't he graduating this year? Will he be going to school next year?

If it's yes/yes then yeah, we should talk soon, very soon. He should already be applying for admittance and financial aid.

Yes and probably not until next year. He is going to be going to a "boot camp" of sorts at his uncle's house. He will learn more in six months or a year from my brother than he would ever hope to learn in college, but at the same time, I am starting to get a little nervous about the whole idea :(

I'll have to make plans to come by and visit with you soon any way.

No kidding - it's been TOO long since we have seen one another!
