It's finally over! Graduation is finally over! Part of me thought it would never get here, and the other part of me can't believe it's already come and gone.
Between the 17 graduation speeches, and the 350+ graduates that had to walk the stage, it felt so completely LONG...but it actaully only lasted an hour and a half, much to my amazement. I had like four layers of clothing on, so it was burning HOT in the auditorium. At one point I stole my friend's cap and used it as a fan. I would've used mine, but I didn't want to expose my hat hair any sooner than I had to...Russ was a gentleman about it, anyway. He didn't have a choice. lol.
After the ceremony, my family took me out for gourmet pizza...yummy yum yum yum yum...and then ice cream...YUM! Of course, tomorrow I'll be feeling sick from all the extra junk food, but today I enjoyed it.
Now is the time, I suppose where I should start looking toward the future...and I shall...starting Tuesday. lol. I need tomorrow to let today sink in. It hasn't completely hit me yet. Yet another part of me wishes my dad could've been there, but I think he would have only messed things up. Still...I can hang on to my fantasies for a little longer. One day things will be different. I know it in my spirit.

Hooray! You're a graduate. Yup, I'd wait until Tuesday to start thinking about the future too. You've got a long holiday weekend coming up and who can do anything then?
I remember my own graduation. It sure seemed like a long time coming and then it was over in a flash--well, not exactly. We had way more graduates than your school.
Have a super summer.
