The Graduates Have Left the Building!

I have lived one week as a newly-minted Master's graduate

Know you need to go fishing so you can be the master baiter.

Or I could go pick an argument with a pseudo-intellectual and become a master debater. :>

Or you could pick an argument with some frozen potatoes and become a master tater! Ok. Shutting up now.

Or I could go out into the busy mall and shout "you're all materialistic bastards" and become a mass perturbater.

Great news on the Lil' M! 'Awesome' doesn't really describe that one!

I'm glad to hear that Al is going to take some sort-of down time. I assumed when you said doctorate program in January, you meant 2010, and I thought that there could be some advantage in just plowing ahead, but JEEZ!

I don't even know if there are words to describe it. I've felt like laughing, jumping, shouting, and crying -- and I'm only the aunt. I can't even begin to fathom what it's like for Baby Bro and Sis-in-Law.

Actually, there are more advantages for Al to wait a year or two before heading to law school. With her GPA, she needs an excellent LSAT score and the law schools will be fighting each other to get her. And, yes, this means full scholarships. Two years will allow her mental and physical time off, as well as two years worth of savings to build up for books and non-scholarship expenses. More than two years might have Life getting in the way, and she might not go back to school.
