The first night of the rest of my life.

[Ben Kenobi]

I wrote my last exam today, finally. I will be getting my degree in another month at my convocation, a BA in history.

Been a long road but I'm so thankful to all the folks here who have helped me and encouraged me along my way.

SO THANKS for everything!

[ZEE]

long journey ends and another begins...
good job

a BA in history

Sorry dude...

[Ben Kenobi]

Sure, mock the degree.

How many of you can say that you've written a 20 page paper on the modernisation of the Russian Orthodox church under peter the great?

[Kuciwalker]

Drake has one too, Ben. You might want to listen

And thankfully I can say I never have and never will write such a paper.

[Drake Tungsten]

Sure, mock the degree.

I have the same degree, so I think I'm allowed...

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah I know he's pulling my leg.

Thanks guys.

I did one of similar length on the Benedictine reformation of the church in England, and I wasn't even doing it as part of any formal education.

That's not bragging. Just an admission of a deep psychological problem.

Yeah, unless you go to med school, you're jolly well ****ed.



I had this totally irrational hope when I read the thread title that you had gotten laid last night.

[C0ckney]

congrats dude.

Well, I can't say that, but I can say that I wrote a 30-page paper on why the conflicting nature of the crusader Godfrey of Bouillon (pious vs. sanguinary) was not a contradiction in the Middle Ages.

Gotta love history degrees.

For myself, it was 30+ pages on physically deforming diseases throughout the middle ages (plague, leprosy, syphilis) and the cultural responses to them.
