Finally, my picture frame for my diploma came in. I bought it for my parents so they can hang it on the wall of our study. This would not have been possible if it were not for their help (They paid for my education). But, I also have to thank everyone here for helping me with my questions over the years. I can honestly say I would not be where I am today were it not for the help I received here. In particular, thanks to many members current and past: pmb_phy, arildno, ehild, jamesrc, Hurkyl, Tide, Galileo, dextercioby, Clausius2, NateTG, Janus, Russ, Doc. Al, HallsofIvy, et. al. (And anyone I forgot to mention). One more is in the works, hopefully, maybe two, MAYBE.

Well, he has smaller tits than Madonna... :rolleyes:

Great Photoshop, by the bye. So, what's the real name of the institution, while we're faking things?

Well no, when I first saw it, it was Cyrus and the last name was blacked out, so I figured it was his real first name. I know a guy named Cosmo, so that isn't too far off.

Since he changed it again, then sure, it's photoshop definitely.

Its not photoshop. I just cut out my last name, and replaced it with white area. :-p Good ole, MS paint.

Its really from the Univ. of Phoenix.

Sorry I've been out of the picture for a while, I'm assuming Cyrus is the Cyrusobaldia - Apologies if I spelt it wrong - In which case well done, your hard work has paid off; if not all the same. Congrats. :smile:

Look REALLY closely at the Cyrus part, you might find a slight change in the tone of paper colour :wink:

Congrats Cyrus! What you plan on doing next then? I can't wait until I am in your position, though I have a long 5 or 6 years to go :frown:

Congrats again!

I wondered about that when this new username showed up recently. Are you the same Cyrus? Regardless, it really is great to see another PF alumnus going big-time.
I know that it's out of place for me to say than I'm proud of you, since we have no idea as to who each other really is, and I've had nothing to do here with furthering your education, but I guess it's because PF really does feel like family to me... so I'm proud of you anyhow. You did well, lad. Be proud (but not egotistic) of yourself.
Now you have some creds to back yourself up when helping newbies. (And you had damned well better stick around here and help newbies, or I'll have to come looking for you...)
Cheers, mate, to a job well done.

Im almost half way into my semester as a grad student. I am taking two classes, have my own office, all the grad students are great and work together on homeworks, plus I am getting paid good money in the process, and my tuition is fully covered. I have time for the gym, going out on weekends, and I get to play with RC airplanes as my research. Slaving away as an undergrad finally paid off. I would NEVER want to grind out undergrad ever, again.
