Today, Lorena and I are meeting Troy and Youngin for lunch in downtown Lincoln. This is probably my last day of school, ever. It has been an incredible amount of work, but every minute was worth it. Part of this had to do with me wanting to get a PhD, but honestly, the best part was the people with whom I worked. My committee consisted of 100% people of good will. My buddy John S. Started in the same program about halfway through my program and it has always been a joy to work with him. I’m going to enjoy continuing to volunteer with Troy, but it kind of won’t be the same. I just wish there was a way to adequately thank everyone involved.
