Resume Listing: Wait Untill Conferral?

I just received my response from an academic advisor from Excelsior, and he told me, in so many words, that the diploma is just a piece of paper, that I HAVE the degree and should go ahead and tell my clients that I do. Cool.

I haven't really felt any major excitement about finishing my AA, but now that I am in the process of updating my resume, I keep staring at my reorganized "education" section. It makes me smile. It looks awesome!
