Master of my Domain

Master being the degree and Spanish being the domain. Yep, passed the oral exam today with little problem (stupid linguistics and language acquisition theory). So all I have left is to finish my current classes. As far as that goes, two midterms down--93/100 on one and today's was suuuper easy. One more midterm on Wednesday, two presentations in class this week and then finals on the 30 and 31.
Graduation is on Thursday. Why the graduation ceremony occurs two weeks before classes are finished is a bit of a mystery. And ceremony is a bit of an overstatement. Basically, this things consists of all the masters students (about 50) and professors gathering in the patio of the classroom building here. They say who is graduating, the graduates get the chance to make a little speech if they want, and then there is food for everybody. I think there might be a small gift for the graduates, who knows. It also tends to change a bit from year to year. Hell, I just found out today that it is this Thursday. But it is a nice chance to have some free food and drinks, talk to the few other students who I can stand having a conversation with (usually complaining about the other students we can't stand), and getting to talk to some of the professors outside of class.
Updates on the homefront, baby issues and etc will be forthcoming, now that the comprehensive exams are out of the way.
