Graduation thoughts
I turned my last assignment and had my last final yesterday. Overall, I’d say my finals went better than I thought they would.
With the academic year over, graduation stuff is everywhere. (Congratulations to Candice, who just finished her masters, and my brother, who graduated from PCC in Architectural Drafting!) So I thought I’d look into what sort of commencement options there will be for me when I graduate in December. As it turns out, not many. If I want to walk, I would have to do it either this August or next June. I don’t really want to walk 4 months early or 6 months late, so I guess I won’t be participating.
It’s too bad, really. I didn’t attend my undergraduate graduation, even though I could have. I kind of wanted to attend this one, though – especially if they had a smaller departmental graduation ceremony. I have worked a lot harder for this degree, since I was working a lot more hours and the classes were a lot more challenging – and I have a life outside of school in a way that I didn’t in undergrad. (You know, getting married…stuff like that…) This time it feels like a Big Deal, in the way that last time didn’t. And C really wanted to get to blow an air horn when they called my name.
The moral of the story is that I will have a really big graduation party, and I will guilt everyone into coming. You HAVE to come, because it’s the only celebration I get! <puppy eyes>
I’m sorry that I won’t get to see you walk.
We’ll have fun at your party though!
No matter what, I’ll blow an air horn.
And the real gravy is that we’ll have a barely used air horn laying around the house that I can use to mark other momentous occasions.
*HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!* “I just sorted the mail!”
That WOULD be a momentous occasion. ;)
