Completely off-topic, but I just had my graduation ceremony this morning. I now officially have my bachelor's.
And one of my favorite professors even showed up, which was awesome. =) My parents were all like, "who was that old guy you were shaking hands with when you came off of the stage?"
Just wanted to share.

Thanks!
Yeah, it was awesome. He's a sweet old guy with gray hair and a beard to rival Einstein. When I talked to him after the ceremony, the told me that I was one of his success stories and to feel free to use him as a reference for jobs, etc.
I'm going to my best friend's tomorrow (must get her flowers), then probably to a graduation celebration thrown by said professor.

I'm not sure if he was there JUST for me, he probably had other students there too. But seeing him there was nice.
And thanks ^_^
