UPS delivered my cap and gown this week. It is very cool! When I go to Norwich next weekend for graduation, it will mark the first time I have ever worn a cap and gown. I skipped my high school graduation because I was not into that kind of thing when I was 18 years old. I was just happy to get out of high school.
I did not go to my undergrad ceremony when I graduated from Kaplan University a couple of years back. It was “somewhat” important to me, but I could not get the time off from work. I was not too disappointed about it. I would not miss this graduation for anything. I not only look at it as graduating with my MBA, but the culmination of six years of work.
In other news, in looking for online resources that might help distance education students, I came across a
nice set of tools from Google. Google Books has over 10 million resources to browse. In addition, there are millions of articles that can be used as reference material. I have used some of these resources in the past, but did not write about them.
In closing, I will be spending the next week packing and getting everything ready for my trip to Vermont. I am really looking forward to it. The only drawback is the flight there. I have to drive to Dallas, go through Atlanta, and then on to Vermont. Sounds like it might be easy, but the downtime between flights turn this into a 12-hour trip.
