Warning! Blog Post Deluge Approaching!


I have all kinds of pictures, Jack stories, and Amelie updates to come. Why all of them at once?

Well, I am done with classes. No, not done for a few weeks to go again in the fall. No, not starting another degree in a year. I'm done. (Well, until Kate decides to let me get a PhD Someday In The Future. Distant Future.)

Yes, Joe who is perpetually a student, has graduated from Wayne State with a(nother) Masters degree. Kate is not quite sure what to make of it. She said that she is so used to me always being a student that it hasn't sunk in that I am done. I think my family is a wee bit sceptical, too.
But really, I'm done! And I'm employable, so I will job hunting. Of course, I picked a great economical time to be on the market for a music library job. But I am also qualified to work in other types of library positions, so it's all good.

Suggestions on how to celebrate?

Congratulations! It's great! I wish the kids had gotten to see you at your grandma's this weekend, but maybe there will be a chance soon. I know Tina really wants to see amelie and Jack - and you and Kate too.

Congratlations! We celebrated by taking a big family vacation in the middle of everybody else's school year...because we could. So happy you're done, hope you find something soon...maybe down here?

Congrats! I can't imagine you not being a student, Joe. So much leisure time is ahead for you!
