Degree, Finarry!
I finally received my degree. It's huge. I expected an 8x11 in a floppy envelope since that's how my Berkeley degree arrived, but instead this thing is 14x17 and came with its own (faux-?) leather portfolio. It's so big I don't know what to do with it. I'd hoped to just file it away with all my other 8x11 documents. Maybe I can request a smaller one.
Of course, a smaller one may never reach me. You see, they put this degree in the mail almost two months ago. It took me until today to get it because they sent it to my classmate. Huh?
Fortunately, that classmate contacted me (via Facebook, go figure) to tell me she had it. She'd come home one day and found two degrees on her doorstep. Talk about ROI!
I'm displeased with the bozo(s) who slapped the wrong mailing label on the package, but whatever, my degree is finally here! Hoorays!

Does this suggest that a Ph.D would be the size of one of those sweepstakes prize checks?

Now I'm curious. Maybe I should get one to find out. :)

Do it! Just think of it as research.
