For the past 21 years, Viva Barnes has been measuring her life in 12-week increments and batches of flashcards. In 1988, the single mother began taking one class per quarter while she worked in Western Washington University's cashier office. On Saturday, Dec. 12, Barnes, now 55, graduated from Western with two degrees. "That felt great," said Barnes, who now works in the anthropology department and hopes to stay there. "I felt like I actually accomplished something. I feel like I walk taller. I feel proud of myself."
