"You went to college for what? Did you get any degrees?" - T.M. of Ontario

I attended North Dakota State University as a full time student from 2000 to 2003, and then part time after that until 2005 when I absconded. I was slated to graduate in the spring of 2005 (I was enrolled in my final two courses at the time I ran away) with a B.S. in Computer Science. I would have graduated wearing a Phi Kappa Phi honor society medallion (the only medallion permitted to be word at graduation) and a Golden Key sash (for being in the top 10% of my class).

I had already picked up my medallion and registered to graduate. I even had graduation announcements printed and ready to send.

I also have two Associates degrees that I earned while in prison; an A.S. in Electronics from Pierce College, and an A.A. in General Studies from Walla Walla Community College.

I also have a real High School diploma (not just a G.E.D.) that I earned in prison. I actually completed the last credits I needed to graduate from High School while I was in segregation at the age of 21.
