I'm an Associate... or something like that. :)

Today my Associates Degree diploma came in the mail. It was exciting! Since we didn't actually walk in line at our graduation from UVU, it didn't really seem really or significant. "Yeah, so I finally finished all the classes from the pink paper... Yay." (The English department's list classes is pink, in case that confused you.)

But getting the fancy certificate in the mail cheered me up a lot. It suddenly made it seem like all the time I spent studying and forcing myself to class when I was freaking sick were worth it. I was slow getting it because of the illness and I often felt like it couldn't be worth it. But the letters on the certificate are shiny and everyone knows that a certificate with shiny letters is superior to one with dull letters....
