Yesterday my nephew finished his final exam, turned in his final papers and pretty much aced the GRE and is now the proud recipient of a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Go Ahren!!
He drove down from school with his truck loaded up with books, electronic equipment, dirty laundry and all the other detritus one collects while away at school. He made a stop over at my Dad’s house and we had a celebratory dinner of cracked crab, salad, crusty french bread and a rich chocolate cake for dessert. No more rice or pot pies for a while.
What a fabulous feeling to reach a really big goal and then have the world just wide open to you to start anything new that you want. A new day, a fresh start. Oh how I envy him. To quote Theodor Geisel:
You have brains in your head
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose
Congratulations to a very brainy, footsy guy!
what a wonderful feast and a great reason to celebrate!
