I just got this email from the professor of my final class at the U:
"Hello, I just filled out the grade change form, but it won't be submitted until next week. I could give you an A. Congratulations!" Know what that means?
It means: No more saying, "I am almost finished." No more saying, "One more class." No more saying, "I'm almost there, I've just been so busy with work." No more saying, "I shouldn't. I'm supposed to go to class tonight." No more saying, "I am so bad. I skipped class last night." No more saying, "I just have one more assignment to turn in, but it's only worth 10 points -- maybe I'll just skip it." No more saying, "I'm stuck in Utah because I can't leave until I finish at the U." Now I can say, "I've done it! I never have to go to school again!"
Time to update the resume and get the hell outta dodge.
Oh yeah, now it's quiz time for you: Should I waste everyone's time and actually walk at graduation in May? or do us all a favor and forego the craziness?
