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!
