Ten Years Later….
Posted by toddhelmkamp on December 9, 2007
In August of 1997, I began my undergraduate studies at Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana.
In May of 2000, during my junior year, I flunked all of my classes (because I was drunk all of the time) and was kicked out.
In August of 2005, I was re-admitted to Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne Indiana, taking one class a semester.
In August of 2006, I began taking a full course load of five classes a semester.
Today, Sunday December 09, 2007, at 4:32 pm, I finished my last paper for my undergraduate career. I have no in-class finals. All of my assignments are in.
As of a week from Monday, on Monday December 17, 2007, I will have completed my Bachelor’s Degree, and finished college.
Ten years later.
Now, on to Graduate School!!

congratulations!
But I thought you started in August 1996. Did you take a year off school? You graduated in 96, didn’t you?
Anyway, it’s good to be done–i know that feeling–it’s wonderful!
Congrats!

@All: Thanks for the congrats! It still hasn’t sunk in quite yet…
@Nate: Nope, 1997. I’m a year younger than you.
