12 Witnesses

“I like to call it ‘grajimication,’” said my love, showing her sense of humor that is heavily dosed with silly, but only when you get to know her.

My lovely and talented wife “grajimcates” tonight with a Master’s Degree in School Administration. No, she still has a semester to go in the class taking arena, but they parade across the stage with caps and gowns (that just arrived at the bookstore the day prior, no less) and they do it tonight. I mean, if you are 3/4 of the way through your Master’s Degree, why not get the thing anyway? Right? Surely, you’ll finish.

Well, we can all guess that the only thing she’ll get tonight is a folder where a degree might one day reside, but the honors go out early.

She is finishing this degree at the Tulsa location of the University of Oklahoma, where she had always intended to attend as a young lady growing up in Clinton, OK. That she attended the school loathed by almost every Sooner fan, Oklahoma State in Stillwater, is a mystery. While the Orange and Black still has something for her, the Crimson and Cream has risen to the top and OU paraphernalia is showing up around the house.

Of course, not as much as the “Jenks wear” that everyone has. I think she keeps the Trojan Shop in business over in Jenks, where she now works. That is, she works at one of the schools in one of the top rated school systems in the state, not the Trojan Shop.

Although, if she got a part time job there, she might get some discounts on some of the clothing… Never mind. She buys enough there already that she gets a bulk discount.

What can we say? She’s proud of her school.

Well, here’s to the near matriculation of my love. Congrajifizations.
