I just completed the final requirements of my Masters degree today (the details of which I will save for a future post). It has been a difficult road, and I’m glad it’s done. I didn’t attend any sort of graduation ceremonies, because I don’t go for that sort of thing — at all. Until today, it didn’t feel like the weight was off my shoulders. Now I actually feel like celebrating! But I won’t, because I’m a nerd. I’m currently celebrating by working on a programming puzzle. And surfing the blagoblag.
I still have a couple months of servitude to complete the requirements of my fellowship, but the degree is mine.

Congratulations! Next obvious question — continuing for a PhD, I assume? ;-)
Excellent question! :) I was going to, but a variety of factors have changed my mind. I won’t say I’ll never head back for my PhD, but I’m going to try something different for a few years.
Congratulations! Nothing wrong with putting off a PhD. You’re young. Staying in Pitt?
Congrats! At least do something for yourself to celebrate, even if privately. Maybe treat a friend to one of the new movies recently released.
Casting a net over the east coast for the job search. There’s not a lot in Pittsburgh that’s popping out at me, though not moving would be ideal.
