Degree As of my last post, many of you may know that I got my first job this year. I also finished my degree! It was an important year for me. Even though I am finished, I am only graduating next year in April. But, I have something that is more gratifying than a graduation ceremony. I promised myself that I would read every single novel, play, short storie, and poem for my degree. I stayed true to that promise. Now I am able to say that I kept that promise and read ALL of the prescribed work for these three years. It is a milestone I am proud of!
