When contemplating how much time remains until I'll have my degree I'm reminded of the HBO series The Wire, of which I am an avidly devoted fan.

On the show, when drug dealers are sent to prison for x amount of years they often say that their sentence is only made up of two days, "the day I go in and the day I come out. Ain't no thing."

I say: ditto.

College ain't no thing. I've done the first day, the last day might be as soon as tomorrow.

Thank you, 826 Valencia. For everything. And, congratulations to the 2008 Scholarship Winners
