I'm easily amused

Got a thing in the mail from Pitt, just letting me know they thought I was a doctoral candidate and would I be coming to graduation to get hooded.

Good grief! That's one degree I don't see myself ever getting. Of course I was never planning to go back and get a second master's degree, either, so I shouldn't say never.


Okay, that nice fast run I had this morning? Holy heck, I'm paying for it, now. My right calf is killing me -- it was a long walk home after work. Looks like ice and advil for me, tonight.

I think it is a good thing to do. A graduate degree is a big accomplishment, and there is little enough to mark it otherwise. I don't know about you, but all my diplomas are sitting around gathering dust somewhere, so they seem really non-meaningful.

When is your commencement - should family members find themselves in a positiion to attend and cheer your accomplishment?

End of April, Sunday the 27th. I don't really plan to go. It feels weird, since I graduated last August and had some sort of commencement thing then. That's the problem with not finishing your program in April - by the time the real Graduation Day arrives, we've all moved on.
