Graduation

Last Saturday, under a sun-filled sky, I graduated from College. I really can't believe that it's actually real, but since I am all moved home with my entire life's possessions exploding all over the house - I guess it's really real!

The morning started off rainy. Not only was I pissed on my hair's behalf, but I was so upset because my College's graduation is traditionally outside. At 10 AM, which was the official time when officials had to "call" graduation as inside our outside, it was still raining. The inside ceremony would have taken place in an ugly gym, so I was thrilled when they decided to hold the ceremony outside.

Just as all the graduates processed outside, the sky opened up and it was sunny for the duration of the ceremony. I could not have asked for anything better.

As usual, I took a few pictures... or a hundred. But I won't share all of them because I don't want anyone to get too bored...

Now tell me this isn't a gorgeous backdrop for a graduation?

Me and my boys. Brother, The Boy, Me, Dad. Tell me it isn't the worst picture ever, but oh well.

Me and one of my best friends in our red shoes. The College said only black and navy shoes were accepted at graduation... oh well! Isn't the red classy though??

Tossing our caps...

And then I had to throw this one in because what are the chances of getting that many people into the air at once? Seriously!!

All in all, it was a very beautiful weekend and I was so so sad to see it come to an end.

Many many tears were shed by all of us and I think I am still in denial that I won't be heading back to campus in the fall.

Now, I just have to unpack my life (holy god, when did I acquire so much stuff) and find a job. Shouldn't be tough, right?

Right.

Bittersweet Weekend

This past weekend was the Honors Ceremony honoring our senior class. Before the big ceremony, we had departmental ceremonies for each major.

Since I am a Business Major, I headed to our ceremony. I had been notified ahead of time that I would be winning the Marketing award for Outstanding Marketing Student of 2009 so at least I was prepped.

My favorite professor gave the most amazing little speech about me. She told my entire major and a great majority of their parents that not only was I an amazing person with a huge heart but also that I inspired her. Isn't that the nicest thing to say?? I told her that that our admiration was a 2-way street!

Anyways, I did snap a few pics but they're not the best because I handed over the camera to others to get the best pics... ugh.

Here's me and my dad:

My friends and I took a ton of pics but this was one of my favorites.... Sweet, no?

So it was definitely an emotional weekend, getting all dressed in our caps and gowns for the first time.

Holy crap, I graduate in 12 days. Eek!
