Once again...

Once again, I am done with school, almost. Once again I graduate. This is just another bachelors, I don't know if I could've handled grad school. Classes are done, graduation is Saturday, and my finals are on Monday. DONE. Tuesday begins full time for me again at work. No driving back and forth between Menomonie, Hudson, and home every day. (BTW, it's 126 miles 'round the loop) DONE.
This seemed so far away a year and a half ago. Even last week, it felt like it was a long way off, especially after UW-Stout lost my graduation packet that contained all my forms and signed substitution sheets. I had to fill them all out again, have them all signed, but this time I took them personally to registration and records and waited while the lady keypunched everything in.
I have met a bunch of real wonderful teachers who give a %$#& about their students and they are excited about their job. It rubs off on you and it makes you take interest in what you are learning if the teacher has slightly more than a pulse. My teachers in general do not share my view points on "the truth", but I have made known where I stand, and have been bluntly shown where they stand. I think it facinates some of them to see someone who has been through the college mill and still thinks in terms of creationism. Shame on me.
