DONE, Done, & done

I turned in my last assignment on Tuesday night. Boy oh boy do I feel like a weight has been lifted. I practically skipped out of the classroom and wanted to tell the world that I was FINISHED.

Here's the funny part though: Tuesday's class consisted of turning in a take-home final and picking up the research paper we'd written the week before. I was anxious to see the professor's comments so I quickly turned to the back page where anticipated finding my grade. Instead, I found a computer generated coupon with a question mark beside it. That's right folks, I had printed off a coupon a few days earlier and when I printed my paper, I accidentally attached the coupon to the research paper. I just started cracking up and the professor said, "oh, you found it. I was wondering if I was having hair problems and this was a subtle hint." So that was the way I ended my Masters career.

By the way, if you're interested in The Adverse Effects of Caffeine Addiction, I've got a paper you might like to read...I got a perfect score

Congratulations! I really would like to read your paper. Many people think that caffeine is harmless...not so. Your coupon story made me smile. At least your professor read your research paper. In my final class, the prof. didn't read any of the papers but gave everyone a perfect score.
