Nice job. By this time next year, you'll be ready to put that degree from Moo U to use at your local Caribou Coffee.

Howdy Lodge. At the SLC airport, flying home tonight instead of tomorrow. My boss and I had plans to go to the morning keynote and maybe one session at the conference, then bolt and head to Park City to check out the Olympic Training Site. We were sitting in the main ballroom after breakfast looking at the schedule and she's like "why didn't we plan to fly home today?" I checked Delta, saw there was a flight at 5:05. We left the ballroom and I changed our appointment at the training site from 2:30 to 11:30, she called Delta and changed our flights and we hit the road for Park City.
It was raining on and off all the way there and we got to Park City and it was snowing. Ugh!! A wet snow that wasn't really stocking, but still. Then the sun came out. Then it rained. Then sun. Then rain. And chilly. But a very cool facility and downtown Park City was very cute. Now I need to find that Entourage episode that they filmed at the Sundance Film Fesrival to see if anything looks familiar. Glad we're heading home tonight. Our 5:05 flight is now not leaving till 5:29 so I won't get home till after midnight, but that's ok.
In the meantime, I got two emails and a call on my cell from my mortgage broker and the lawyer wanting to know about scheduling the closing for Monday. I had emailed yesterday that I probably could not do that but the calls and emails today made it seem like I had to do it Monday based on the extension I got on my rate. What really annoys me is what do these people not get about me being on the road??? I was at a conference. Today I was driving, then outside on a tour of two different facilities. I'm also with my boss. I couldn't even check my Monday schedule till I got here to the gate. I called the lawyer at 3:05 here, so 5:05 there. Naturally he was gone. So, he can bolt quickly on a Friday but I have to jump through hoops while I'm on a business trip. All my mortgage broker had to say to me earlier in the week was the loan would most likely be approved on Wednesday so let's plan now to schedule the closing for Monday. That way I would've been all set before I left and not had any annoyance while on this trip.

Yo.
Worked at offsite today, and the afternoon ended up being quite dead. Head Boss, being a Blackhawks fan, IMed me and said if I typed/sent "Go Blackhawks" I could avoid coming back to the main building (he doesn't know I'm a Devils fan). So, I sent, "Go Blackhawks. But my feelings for Secord remain the same." He loved it, and I got to go home a little early.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, teaching the kids how to play bocce ball while Rubette is having lunch with some of her friends. Should be...interesting.

Graduating in four years is like leaving the party at 11 PM.
Hey, wait a minute...I graduated in four years! However, there were three summers in there, and summer semester in Houghton is actually rather nice - temps get above 60, the bars aren't crowded, and quite a few foreign chicks stick around.

It took me 6. Took me two and a half years at the local community college, I took a semester off, and started at NMU in Fall 2003.Graduating in four years is like leaving the party at 11 PM.

Took me six as well, switched majors after my junior year, and one of the years was an internship in which I never set foot on campus until graduation.
Oh, and I'm a little dim.

I took a year off and worked to gain my residency and instate tuition. Also combined credits from 3 schools (2 in Illinois).
And then there was the drinking my way into taking 5.5 years to get er done.
All told... 6.5 years and lived in 5 different cities.
For my second degree - which I wrapped up 5 years ago - I was dean's list every semester and graduated with honors. Funny how things can change.

I'll say this - my Oakland U GPA (Masters) was considerably higher than my GPA at Tech. Though my MTU stats were not shabby considering that I, like many, switched majors (but did so after my freshman year).

When I went to Baker for culinary arts, my GPA was terrible. Not that I slacked off, but when you're graded on practical matters... I couldn't get the job done and my GPA fell to below 2.0.

4 and a half actually. You need about half the general credits as an engineering student, so my first two semesters I took a bunch of engineering classes as I had a semester's worth of general credits from AP high school classes done. So, the engineering credits are irrelevant, so I decided to add an accounting and business administration minor since I have to take that extra semester.
Edit: I also decided engineering wasn't for me for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I kind of burned myself out. I took Project Lead the Way classes in high school, and planned on being an engineer since 8th grade. Second, I started coaching. Engineering is serious and tough business, and you need fairly extreme discipline in your school work to be successful. It's different than the lives of most college kids. Coaching took up lots of my time, as did exploring various thing I've never done, such as party. Finally, I take too many trips to Iowa City and various hockey destinations. I wouldn't change that for the world, as the relationship I have with my dad and the extraordinary bonding time we get on these trips is unbeatable.
Additionally, my best friend's dad is a very prominent employees at Bolton and Menk, and is a workaholic, and he not his son would admit it, but he's been a rather absent father for my buddy. That legitimately scared me as I would've had a great opportunity to start my career with the same company.

The finance classes, if taught properly, will actually be useful. I had a great finance prof at Tech - he could explain the toughest formulas in laymans' terms. He also wrote his own course textbook in PDF format, and gave it to every student without extra charge. I printed it off, and it's still sitting on my shelf.

During these times, a finance class or two should almost be in the general status. Those classes taught me a lot. Another course that ruled was business communications. Really opened my eyes to how terrible people are with our language. I knew it was bad, but that class made it so much worse.

Thankfully, I only spent the scheduled 4 years to complete my glorified B.S. degree. Something like 160-165 credits, thanks to the extra USCG license courses. However, there are/were numerous kids who took 6, even 8 years to graduate.
Ended up with a pretty respectable 3.0+. Go figure, the semester I took the most credits (23, with two 0 credit labs) was my best semester. Something about not being able to slack off, I guess.
