Diploma happy dance!

My diploma came in the mail yesterday.  Hooray!  Now I can truly call myself a librarian.  All that’s left now is to find a job in a notoriously bad market, but I did it once; maybe lightning will strike twice.

In the clear!

I got an e-mail from my advisor tonight: I’ve officially been cleared for graduation!  I still have to wait for my diploma to arrive in the mail, but for all intents and purposes I have graduated.  If I wasn’t so tired from being at work all night, I’d probably celebrate.

Still, I don’t think it will truly become real to me until I hold the document itself in my hands.  At the very least, that will be the final step, and I’m eager to have every loose end tied up.  Then, I will most certainly party until I can’t remember why I’m partying anymore!

A prime, Grade-A (almost) librarian.

Well, my final grades are in. I have officially gotten straight A’s throughout my Master’s program and will in theory finish with a 4.0 GPA! The bad news is, I still have to wait until next month to be cleared for graduation, and then wait even longer until I receive my degree in the mail. Still, at least the suspenseful part is over. Now I can stop checking my transcript every hour and go back to catching up on all the reading I missed while I was studying…

I have to admit, though, I can’t wait to change the Education section of my resume from “Enrolled” to “Graduated”!
