And you all said I couldn't do it.....

.....actually I think I received more encouragement here than anywhere else.

In approximately 6 hours, I will have written my last final and in a few weeks I will graduate with either distinction or great distinction in Industrial Systems Engineering (what that means I have no idea).

Much of my time over the past 5 years was wasted reading the pmag & then tgr forums. For my design project, I even got to do something kind of fun (see picture). I'd like to thank everyone who I bothered through pm's for help with this (wicked_sick, mbs, splat). A huge thank you goes out to Mr. DJSapp, who truly is the mang.

What do I do now? I've had a few interviews, not quite sure what I want to do, although I think in a few years I'd like to take something like this http://emp.colorado.edu/

As for tonight, if I don't wake up tomorrow with at least 1 tattoo and 1 Russian bride, I'm going to be very disappointed.

So WTF are you sitting on in the photo? Nice blue socks.

[Beaver]

Oh yea, congratulations.

[mtnbikerskierchick]

So, what DID you design? I can't tell from the picture.

[bigtrubs]

ski or snowboard press?

ski or snowboard press?

That's my guess too.

Congratulations, mang.
Still planning on heading this way?

Mazel tov!

woah. congrats. that management program looks intersting.

it's a pnumatic press judging by the picture, but it's the 1st one i've ever seen with a steel I-beam frame, must weigh a shitload.

You are right on both counts. It does weigh a shitload (~2000 lbs), and you should have seen us loading & unloading the thing when we presented it. We borrowed the SAE car trailer, and almost destroyed their ramps. It is much easier to move when you take off the top 2 beams.

Congratulations, mang.
Still planning on heading this way?

I should be heading out in the next week or two. I'll let you know when I know the exact dates. If I don't end up making it out then I'll just ship em to ya on the bus.

Beav, I can't believe you picked out the blue socks in the picture, good eyes. You know my steeze.

Congrats and good work! Here's to one of the lowest-key but consistently among the funniest of all the maggotude, I dig your steeze mang.

[WWCD]

Congrats.

I graduated IE also. My design project was a beer can with two tabs for shotgunning. Professor was horrified.

Then I went on to make pizza for 3yrs.
