Today I picked up my masters diploma. The ceremony was very nice. A few pictures follow.

The diploma. It’s real!
My new office that is waiting for me when I return to Corvallis.
I’ve been hired by Phi Delta Theta to be the fraternity’s live-in dad next year. The job entails a few meetings, some emails, and hanging out with the guys at the frat. I’m really excited for the fall when I start the job. As those of you who have known me for a while know, the greek system is one of the very few things that I have not been involved in during my tenure at OSU.
Tomorrow at 10am is the big moment. I will defend my PhD qualifier paper. The presentation I put together is available here. The part that I am really dreading is when I have to answer questions about my paper and about my coursework. The coursework question phase was my weak point during my masters defense.
If you happen to see any glaring errors before 10am tomorrow, let me know so I can correct them.
I should be done and know if I passed or not by noon. Depending upon the outcome, I will either have a pleasant afternoon or a rotten one.
