I’m done. My last assignments were completed on Monday and my last class was Tuesday. I went to the university yesterday, but only to attend a pizza party with a group of international students whom I taught in a communications class to prepare them for graduate school. My grades posted on Tuesday and it appears they will graduate me.
I missed all my friends here this past month. Unfortunately, the schedule was just a bit much and while I could have posted, I would not have been able to participate in the community here. For me, the two go hand in hand. It was better to take a break than to post without being a part of the community.
I’ve been lining up some work. Things are looking good and I’ll share a bit when things are settled and classes begin.
Thank you to all my friends here for your support this past year or so as I’ve transitioned for my old job to teaching in El Salvador to student.
It’s good to be back.
P.S. This image is from a night out at a concert last evening in Boston with two of my friends.

Congrats on your graduation! I remember the relief of graduating not too long ago from a Masters program. It feels good to accomplish something.
Thank you. I’m still awaiting my diploma. It is just good to have everything done and submitted and knowing I’ve passed. Cheers
Congratulations and welcome back! Well done!
Thank you so much. Cheers!
You look so happy in the photo, yay! Great to have you back and congrats on submitting everything for graduation 😀 You can rest a bit easier now, hopefully
Thank you so much, Norm. Cheers!
Congratulations!
Thank you. Cheers
Congratulations! It must be a good feeling to have completed your classes and will be graduated!
Thank you. It is an amazing feeling. Cheers
Yes, I’m sure! I remember how I felt when I finished all my classes, and passed the oral defense of my dissertation and walked down the aisle for my doctorate degree. Wishing the best for the next adventure.
Thank you. Wow, a doctorate is quite an accomplishment.
Well, I need to go back to school to get the Tier II administrative credential. It’s a 2-year program. Then I found out that if I continued for one more year plus the dissertation, I would get the credential and the doctorate. So I did it…
It’s odd how life works that way sometimes. Cheers
Yes, it just turned out that way!
Many congratulations, Chris!! And it´s so good to have you back! 😀 Looks like you and your friends had a great time! Cheers! 😀
Thank you. It was the type of night that we did not want to end. Cheers
