Congrats! On a side not: I have a reoccurring nightmare that my principle walks into my office and tells me that my degree was invalid (and thus all my subsequent schooling is invalid), and that I have to quit work and return to high school for another year. It is actually really horrifying.

Just wait until you start college and the dreaded sleeping through your midterm/final nightmares start...
Just wait till you are working and have the dreaded dreams of making sure you wake up early enough and get in the shower, get ready, etc to get to work on time. Then you wake up and realize you have to get ready to get to work on time.
I've had this dream so many times that I've lost count.

This is why you get a job on a college campus where no one really cares what time you get in... ~_^
EDIT: Also, if you get the right job, you can pretty much dictate your work schedule as a programmer.
Or I'll be back in school, can't remember my locker combination, wandering into classes trying to figure out why I have to deal with this bullshit again. ;^)
I am such a punchy, happy, ecstatic mood today!! My little brother has not only graduated today, but he graduated both as a CAPT (Connecticut Academic Placement Test) scholar and with Honors!! At least there is one Geo brother who carries the smarts, I'm fine just having the creative side.
I have never had that particular dream, but I have on multiple occasions had the "oh shit I've been registered all semester for a class I did not know about, and have not gone to a single one" dream. Then you wake up and you've been out of college for 5 years. Fun!
A pretty coworker of mine and I took our breaks and lunch back-to-back together so we could watch Italy play Paraguay. The discovery I made? The girl knows as much as (and maybe more than) I do about football, and she swears like a fucking sailor to boot.
Truly, a woman after my own heart.
To Quote my dear grandfather's advice to me, when I was a younger man - "HOOK IN, MATE!"
Said girl and I are now going to an awesome Expat pub downtown to watch Spain play Chile for the right to progress on Friday. No idea if she considers it a date, but she looked excited when I asked.
I think I've had all of those scary college/school related dreams. I wonder if this is a nerd thing? (You know, because we tend to actually care about school). I also have the suddenly nekked at school dream a lot.

I have a similar phenomenon every now and then. I'll be asleep and suddenly realize I need to get up. I try really hard to wake myself, and have several dream sequences in a row of myself finally getting up and doing whatever, only to realize I'm still asleep. Its quite scary sometimes. o_o
I wish I had those "back in school" dreams. My dreams are all weird, like I'm driving down the wrong side of I-25, which is thankfully deserted, from the back seat of a car that's nothing like my actual car but is somehow still mine.
On-topic, I finally got around to buying a USB Wifi adapter, so I no longer need to drag a Cat5 cable around with my laptop. (It would be nicer if HP had made a more reliable laptop in the first place, but you can't have everything.)
On the dream topic, I'm also one of those people who have never really had those kinds of school dreams. I've had dreams about being at school, but it's always doing mundane things, like walking in the parking lot, or sitting in the cafeteria. Often times with people who never went to that school. But as far as being in class, never. Never had a dream about being worried about a test either, probably cause that never happened in real life either. I have had one naked at school dream, but I had it about 5 years after graduating. And instead of being embarrassed about it, I was more intrigued about how it would turn out. It's really funny when you are dreaming, and are genuinely interested in what your subconscious is going to come up with.
I had emailed an old coworker a while ago, wondering if she knew awesome tech companies in the City who were hiring. She forwarded me to her friend, who referred me to a really cool consulting firm. I hope to hear back from them. Also, have an interview with the UN (or at least, the company that does their IT) on Thursday. While it's a bit corporate and microsoft-y, it seems pretty stable.

Highly appropriate use of FIGJAM and butterfingers. Good work, mate!
