Hello again,
I have happy news: As of Friday, January 25th, have officially graduated from college. Hurrah!
Last year, I was fortunate enough to take part in the May commencement ceremony, even though I wasn't technically done. That allowed me to celebrate graduation with the friends I made at school and be outside in the beautiful (and hot) weather. This time around, my true graduation was a much quieter affair; I didn't walk across the stage, none of my family attended, and there were no cheers or hugs on my account. I attended the ceremony to support another one of my friends, but it had special importance for me as well. My name was even in the program! It was just another happy occasion to celebrate :) And now my diploma should be on its way to my house, and I can take "expected date of graduation" off of my resume. Hurrah!

How Is It 2013 Already?!
I guess the old saying is true: time flies when you're having fun. And I had lots of fun in 2012, along with many emotional ups and downs. Just to name a few:
(1) My art exhibit "Engaging Moments with Ordinary Sights" (which is why I started this blog in the first place) far exceeded my wildest expectations! For that, I have to thank you, my readers, friends, and family members who cheered me on and helped me out immensely. It could not have turned out this great without your time, effort, support, donations and of course, your presence at the show.
(2) I graduated from college. Finally! So happy!
(3) I studied masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance while living in the beautiful town of Verona. Undoubtedly the coolest experience of my entire life so far. I also ate a lot of pizza.
(4) I matured professionally by working at a museum.
(5) I witnessed three people I love get married.
(6) I made new friends, and became better aquainted with myself.
I can't imagine a year more wonderful than that! I'm looking forward to whatever 2013 has in store . . . hopefully it includes a job.
As a New Year's gift to my faithful readers, I finally published two more posts from Italy! My intention was to finish all of the days in order, but my two days in Rome are proving far more difficult to cover than I thought. There's just so much material (artworks, Roman ruins, run-ins with the transit police) that I could write TEN posts at least. So when they are done and posted I will let you know and give you a link. I'm assigning the date of each post as the day it happened, even if I finish the post months later. That way they will read in the right order, and can be found easily.
In the meantime, enjoy reading about Day 19 and Days 20-21. And have a Happy New Year!
P.S. I noticed that in some of my older posts the images have dissapeared. I do not know why this happened, but I will try to restore them as soon as possible.
