The Best Laid Plans

For the past 18 months I have working on my Masters of Education degree. I am currently in my last semester taking my final two courses. Today I learned that I missed the deadline to apply for December graduation by ONE DAY. So, while I will be finished with all of my classes in December, I will not receive my diploma until May. Needless to say, I am beyond irritated. My husband pointed out that I am an adult and should have inquired about graduation deadlines, but it honestly did not occur to me as I am not planning on walking.

Now, if I decide to apply to districts in December I will have to explain how I missed the graduation deadline. Oh sure, let's hire her - she can't even keep up with her own graduation deadline.
