I got to meet some of the Muckety Mucks in the Indiana Academic Community, and generally had a great time!

Cheers!

Rock on.

Hey! Golds up to what? 900/troy oz? That'd pay for a semester of tuition :D

Nice medal btw!

sweet!

Is that medallion solid gold? Really, you could finance a few quarters with that much metal!

East Hill

Yep, 24K. :D

Sweeeeeet! Way to go Tom! Did you by chance get any of the scholarships you were hoping for....or is that what the academic medal represents. Forgive my ignorance Tom.

Hell yeah, Tom. Congrats.

+1 for the Van ****.

Man, suit and tie again... you are starting to make a habit of this.


Good job!

that's awesome

booo i don't get my degree until August.

...stupid summer Spanish class.

errr...CONGRATS

...stupid summer Spanish class...

which has clearly had a big impact :D

Siento la clase española de la lengua en el verano, previniendo mi graduación temprana, soy estúpido. (via babel fish so may be non-sensical, see below)

FTL :lol:

I feel the Spanish class of the language in the summer, coming up my early graduation, am stupid.

Congratulations Tom.
:beer::beer::beer:

Outstanding!!

Congratulations!

Unfortunately, I didn't get the scholarships i was hoping for, the medal is a separate honor. The guy that beat me out for the All USA Scholarship got it as a result of his service work with Special Olympics. He also earned it all the way, so definitely no hard feelings :p. :D

Hopefully my feeble mind isn't misremembering highschool Spanish, but I believe soy estupido means "I am stupid."

Which I am.

:D

¡Yo no estupido!

¡Yo no estupido!

¡Yo no soy estupido!

No native speaker is ever going to talk like that ;)

Native to where?
Natives around these parts speak Cherokee.

I can speak most forms of Texan.

Congratulations, Tom!

native speaker = someone who's primary language is the one in question

Spanish native speakers: Cubanos, Mexicanos, Ticos, etc.

Congrats Tom!

Hey, where have you been? My lady wants to get into cycling, she lives in Lincoln park...you should show the two of us around the city on our bikes some day.

Timmy....you gotta get out of college...its really effecting your sense of humor.
Either that, or P&R has destroyed what little I had to begin with.

Congratutions!!

Oh, and like someone said, you do look a lot like Gandolf :D

it's the end of the semester, the last as an undergrad

My inability to speak anything other than broken english may be the reason behind the poor babel fish translations.

I was trying to state, in spanish, that the summer course, preventing early graduation, is stupid. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

TimmyQuest graduating is something that I congratulate and respect. I'm sure he worked damn hard for it and deserves all the future benefits a good degree will bring.

Congrats Tom- and your graciousness toward the guy who beat you out for the scholarship just shows you are every bit as deserving. (BTW- I don't know about your 'hood, but I probably wouldn't wear that thing in public... just sayin', ya know?)

Congratulations Tom. No doubt the award will help you get a leg up on some other scholarship opportunities.

Nice job Tom...Good choice on the tie!
