BRADY IS 21!!! BRADY GRADUATES!!!

Posted on May 8, 2007 by Terry

May 8th is Brady’s 21st birthday. Finally, he can buy some vodka for himself. Not that he drinks much (he doesn’t), but its the principle of the thing.

More significantly, he has finished his undergraduate days. His last day was yesterday…2 exams and a paper due…the usual last minute crash! He’s probably sleeping today. He officially graduates on Saturday. Viv, Tim and I are flying out to D.C. to share in the ceremonies. We’ll all go out to some ridiculously expensive DC restaurant and enjoy the moment. He has to go through an Honours Convocation and Sat and the full graduation on Sunday. He’s done extremely well.

Now he waits to hear from the Peace Corps. He has passed several hurdles, but has 2 more…the medical clearance (which is understandably rigorous)…they said 4-6 weeks and then pointed out later it would be longer…and then although he has been nominated for a project in Central Asia, he has to be INVITED by the project manager. So conceivably, he can pass all the hurdles and not be invited anywhere. Painful process.

He will get a job for a year, if Peace Corps doesn’t come through….then go to grad school next year.

    Most excellent! Congratulations Brady! So, if I understand correctly, he COULD be called by the Peace Corps any time?
