Received Degree in Mail Today.
I was so excited to see my degree from UTM in the mail today. As a matter-of-fact, I was as excited, or more excited, about that as I was during commencement. Now, there is no arguing or “take-backs.” The degree is mine and in hand; so, for the first time, it feels real to me.
This being the first degree that I have ever received, I didn’t quite know what to expect would arrive in the mail. Well, yes, I had an idea, but what arrived was so different from what I had imagined that it’s easy for me to say that I didn’t have any idea.
What arrived was the degree, of course, but it was like a degree “on drugs.” I didn’t realize that they gave one so much white space to work with. I suppose there is more than one way to present a degree. Anyway, I was shocked by the sheer size of the sheet of paper with my degree printed on it.
It’s at the framers now. I’m sure that they’ll know what to do with all that excess.
