Earlier this week, my reusable insulated coffee cup with University of Nebraska Medical Center insignia broke. Over the years, it helped me avoid using thousands of paper and plastic coffee cups. I had bought it when I left Omaha, NE after finishing graduate school. I can’t believe that it actually happened 11 years ago. I defended my thesis on Dec. 7th, 1996, submitted the final version to the University on the 10th and received the much-coveted piece of paper that conferred the Ph.D. degree on me, on the 19th of Dec. during the Fall graduation ceremony along with 3 other students from my department.
Wonder where I’ll be and what I’ll be doing, in another 11 years. Probably making another nostalgic post about a degree that I received 22 years ago. :)
