    Well...after 2 years I've finally finished. Today is my last class at MMI (motorcycle mechanics institute) and then I graduate.

    I'm certified through Honda and Kawasaki. I'm the first person in our family that has graduated college (even though I never did recieve my high school diploma due to a jackass principal) and it feels really good.:)

    On 5am saturday I'm moving back home to Northern Iowa and then going job hunting all over Minnesota. Wish me luck!

    Just thought I'd share.:D

    I also got my tacomaworld.com sticker yesterday, so thanks for the grad present TW!

    Congratulations!

    Best wishes in job hunting. It's hard enough trying to find a job when you get out of college and this economy makes it even worse.

    Keep your chin up.... Best wishes!

    I don't want to offend, but I HATE Arizona. I just don't like the lifestyle or most of the people.

    I like being in the midwest...where I can leave the keys in my truck with the windows rolled down all night and not have to worry about a thing.:)
