I figured it would be a good place to share here, so here goes.

I just recently finished up another semester at college, and made the dean's list with high honors, with a 3.92 GPA. I've got 2 more semesters before I transfer to the University of Michigan school of business to get my BBA in finance. When I graduate, I plan on buying myself a datejust 1604, black stick dial, as its been a dream of mine for years.

Its been a long road, and a lot of hard work, but it's been worth every moment of it. I can say its interesting going to school as a 30 year old college student, but aside from a pretty good gap in age to my comparable classmates, its a pretty good time overall.

I start another semester (spring/summer) term tomorrow, with 11 credit hours of accelerated classes, followed by 16 credit hours in the fall.

So much work is yet to be done, but I get closer every day. Thanks for letting me share, Bill.

Congrats on moving towards your goals!!

Keep it up Bill. A Rolex is a pretty nice carrot at the end of the stick.

sleddog · 14 May 2013, 01:34 PM

Good for you Bill, as hard work always pays off in the end!!

Betelc · 14 May 2013, 01:53 PM

Congrats and best wishes, William.

Armyguy03 · 14 May 2013, 02:00 PM

A crown for every achievement!

travisb · 14 May 2013, 06:37 PM

Keep at it. You'll get there soon enough.

up2nogood · 14 May 2013, 07:15 PM

It's good to spoil yourself with something that's just for you when you have a significant achievement.

It's great that you can look at it every day and be reminded of that event.

But it's truly magical that you won't have to sell it in a few years because you can't fit a kid seat in it!

cop414 · 14 May 2013, 09:08 PM

Congratulations for all yor hard work, it will pay off in the end. Make sure that you post pics once you attain that reward watch!

andrewr11 · 15 May 2013, 01:01 AM

William.L. · 15 May 2013, 01:32 AM

Congrats Bill!

Sounds like you've worked hard! Didn't graduate until I was 28 myself....paid my own way.....treat yourself, as it sounds well-earned!!

Honestly, if you didn't have to drive yourself, would it have been the same?

porschejeff · 15 May 2013, 05:15 AM

Good job, GO BLUE! Perhaps a Bluesy would be more appropriate (ref 16613).

petenyc · 15 May 2013, 06:40 AM

Congrats

bridgs · 15 May 2013, 11:16 AM

If youre in your twenties how about a new ceramic Sports Rolex?

Hairdude1 · 15 May 2013, 12:30 PM

Congrats on getting closer to your goal!

tfduff723 · 15 May 2013, 12:36 PM

Congrats on your pursuit. You will have earned that Rolex for sure.

Go Blue!

Chaching · 15 May 2013, 12:37 PM

Congrats! I share your same sentiment! A Crown for every major milestone!

Trouble15 · 15 May 2013, 12:38 PM

Congrats, keep it up.

GradyPhilpott · 15 May 2013, 02:39 PM

I got my BA at age 39 and my MSW at age 46.
