I attended the convocation ceremony and received my parchment on Tuesday, January 26, 2010.  I would like to sincerely extend my undying thanks to my professors, classmates, family, friends, and everyone who supported me with words and acts of encouragement, wisdom, and kindness.  Now I shall turn the page and embark on another chapter of my musical journey!  :)
