Most of you don't know that I was previously deemed an injured worker [bursitis at the shoulder, tendonitis at the elbow, carpal tunnel at the wrist and recently trigger thumb, well you know where] and that I have been working towards a undergraduate degree in English - specifically an Honours Degree in Rhetoric and Professional Writing after a long fight with our government.

This schoolboy will be attending his last class tomorrow. Official graduation ceremonies don't occur till June 20th, but far as I'm concerned, "you can colour me gone, gone, gone!"

Champagne, seafood, and farm fresh eggs will be served at noon if you can make it! smile cool smile cool smile

That's great. I often say that education is wasted on the young. Congratulations!

U of Waterloo, specifically St. Jerome's University [ across the creek ].

Thanks Rod, you would know better than most. Between my learning disabilities and physical restrictions, Dragon Dictate software made essay writing and the degree possible.

I am often proud to see someone get a degree in English. Our language is a wonderful one. It also appears you have overcome some other obstacles as well. Congratulations. powdr

Good job Bert. School is more fun when you're older. older than me anyway. I remember one young girl in an English class telling me her interpretation of an Emily Dickinson poem was totally sexual.

Congrats, Bert! Being ensconced in academia, I know what you went through. Truly an achievement to be proud of.
