Cory's Graduation

After more than a decade of higher education, Cory has graduated with a B.S. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. Having taken this long, he had to go through two graduation ceremonies to feel officially matriculated. It was an exciting day. That one day left behind our degree-less past behind and opened so many doors and so much employment security we never had before. The smaller, department graduation was the most intimate and entertaining. Not only was each graduate named, but a short write-up was read. Cory is going to be a Nuclear Power School Instructor. One of his classmates is going to attend graduate school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Another, who believes that repetition is the best way to learning, is now going to start over from the beginning, by re-attending preschool this summer. I think these were ways of making light of their inability to find employment.

Incidentally, Cory's new job is neither aeronautical nor astronautical. It's just plain nautical. I'd like to thank the Navy right now for a paid three month summer vacation.
