Graduation time!

This thread is for the graduates! Yes, it's that time of year again. June means the end of school, and for some of us, the beginning of something new. High school, middle school, college, work, whatever. You've managed to keep up your schoolwork in addition to the all-important posting on NPF! Congrats!

If you're graduating, tell us when and from what grade.

If you'd like to congratulate graduates, do so here.

I'm graduating soon, and phil_ is waiting for his diploma to be mailed (he did a homeschool thing) . Both of us are leaving highschool, and I personally couldn't be more releaved. We'll be going to different colleges, so we'll probably need to stop sharing this account (not that I post much anyway), which may be a good thing.
I'd just like to say HOOOOO-RAAAAAAYYYYIIIEE! No more highschool!

Congratulations to all graduating seniors, be you of the high school or college variety!

A quick reminder to the newbloods; You're now officially freshmen again. While it's not as bad as being a high school freshmen, it certainly doesn't help your reputation (whatever that may pertain to) so don't mention it unless it's specifically asked of you. Even then, in certain cases, it might be best to tell people that you're a sophomore instead.

One last note. Although you have worked hard this year and no doubt have pride in yourselves and your graduating classmates, just remember: '04 rocked your socks off, you're still not as cool as us.

EDIT: Woot! Post 300!

I graduate next Wednesday, which is followed by an extremely awsome all-night party at a currently undisclosed location! All I have to say is one single statement that sums up the mind-blowing aswomeness of completing 12 years of publicly-funded manditory education.

Meh.

Graduate June 5th from high school, on to college. Still don't know what college, its either going to be Purdue or the University of Chicago. Depends on whether the University of Chicago takes me in off their waitlist.

While not one of the graduates (class of 03 baby! 2 more years of College), I'd like to say congrats to all the graduates here, most notably Wolf99x and MC43. Also, although she doesn't read 8-bit or post here, a hearty congrats to my sister who is graduating high school and will be joining be at Binghamton in the fall.

-edit-
oh right, i'm done with college, btw. and chaosmage, chicago is a super awsome city to go to school in.

Congrats to all the other grads! I'm also graduating from college with my associates degree in computer science, but like DW my ceremony isn't till November. Oh well that's not stopping me from parting like crazy this Sat. One day I'll get my bachelors but my wife goes back for her masters in the fall and I'm not going back till she done, two straight years without one single break is plenty for me thanks.

P.S. How'd eveyone do gradewise? I managed to pull out academic achievement (95%+) & perfect attendance for all classes. Sorry about that but these or BY FAR the best grades I've ever had. Probably had something to do with the fact that I paid out the nose from my own pocket. :p

For those that like to know these things:

Bachelor of Science
Computer Science -- Major 1
Communications -- Major 2
cum laude [I do not know the scale for the Latin honorables]
Honors Program
Lambda Pi Eta. Comm. honorary

May 15, 2005.

I now prepare for my endeavors in graduate school at Penn State, as I pursue a Ph.D.

In all honesty, congratulations and well-wishings to other college, graduate, and high-school grads.

Congrats, everyone!

I'm getting my Associate's Degree on June 10! Then it's off to a 4-year university for my bachelor's. Does it scare you that I'm in college? It should. It should scare you very, very much.
