Also that week, after stuffing my belly with lots of turkey (hopefully you all had a great Thanksgiving!), I was headed to Kansas City for the Border Showdown which may be the final meeting between MU and kU for a long time. Sat up in the Press Box for the game, was a cool perspective. However, I was going crazy because I couldn't cheer for the Tigers. It was a fun experience but from now on you will find me cheering with the fans!
Following the Border Showdown game, I had quite a bit to get done and accomplish for the end of the year for my Masters program. Probably the biggest relief for me came when I finally handed in my masters thesis to the graduate school and they approved it. Then it was just two test, a paper, and one homework assignment that would stand between me and graduation. After a stressful week, all was accomplished. I walked across the stage on Saturday December 17th at 6:30 pm, shook hands with Brady Deaton, and accepted my fake diploma with a huge grin on my face. It was a big milestone and big accomplishment for me. I started grad school when I became a full time employee at KOMU. Working 40 hour weeks and going to school part time took a bit of a toll on me but in the end it was all worth it! I held my head up proud with my parents and brother there to witness it. But I couldn't have done it without our Morning Meteorologist, Eric Aldrich, who also walked the stage with me that day. My partner in crime throughout grad school. A big thanks to him for being such a great friend and co-worker!
Where did this year go? I can't believe Christmas is a few days away and before you know it 2012 will be here! I will have more to recap next week before we head into the new year, and by then I should finally have my graduation pictures posted on the blog for all to see. Merry Christmas to you all!
