On Wednesday, I presented my Masters Project to my three-professor Masters Board. My presentation went extremely well and they were all very impressed. The graduate chair of the Computer Science department told me that my documentation was some of the best he’s seen in 25 years, and he was the one I was most concerned about during the whole proceedings. All that is left is for them to sign the form to clear me for takeoff.
So I’m done. My last class was Thursday, and our professor allowed us to double our midterm grade (I got an A) as our final grade. I have successfully earned my Masters Degree with a 4.0 GPA, getting done six months early. I don’t usually come right out and say this, but I’m proud of myself. The job prospects look promising, and everything is turning up.
My former boss has allowed me a one week contract to work over finals week so I can make a little money off of my Masters Project, which will be going to their care and developement. They plan to make it available University-wide sometime next month. So I will work until Friday, graduate, and head back to Pekin to spend (at least) a few weeks with my fiancee, friends, and family. Words can’t express how good the next few weeks are going to be. I can’t wait!

You’ve been with since you were a baby programmer, and I have found it rewarding to watch you grow, not only in skills but as a person. I’m incredibly proud of you as well.

Congrats dude!! You’ve been working on this so long that I’m glad to see you stuck with it to the end. Nobody else I know has done this.
Rock on, brother Dalcher….. now go forth into the world and kick ass!!!!
Good job bro! Damn impressive!
Of course it’s embarrassing that you have your masters before I have a bechelors and I’m How Much Older Than YOU. LOL
Congrats man!
I really appreciate all the congratulations. I think of everything that I’ve done here on campus, saying goodbye to Karmon and the University Relations department is going to be the hardest. But it’s OK, I’ll go back to Pekin and the other guys will put the Big Hurt on me so I won’t feel so bad about it.
Thanks again, everyone.
