The Chipper Orange Shoe - I HAVE GRADUATED!

09:13 pm - I HAVE GRADUATED!

They gave me a blue folder-thing with a shiny gold embossment on it and everything. Not my actual diploma, that'll take four-to-six or six-to-eight weeks, I can't remember which. I guess in case classes get flunked and need to be taken over again?

Man, that would SUCK.

Anyway, it was nice. I put on my own make-up and didn't do too bad a job (go me), and Mom and Dad and Aunt Jill came up to see me. Aunt Jill got me new pearl earrings, which are very pretty and I love them. And I wore the Italian leather heels that I got out of Grandma's basement years ago. Heels still suck, but these are quite cute.

I brought a book with me to the graduation ceremony, because I was BORED OUT OF MY SKULL at high school graduation. Didn't need it this time, though. We got to sit with whoever we wanted to (well, sort of. We were broken up into groups, but Angela and I kidnapped Dani into the Humanities, Surnames A-C group anyway). Also they didn't have people talking for ever and ever this time -- an alumni spoke and another graduate spoke, and then they started handing out diploma folders.

I did not trip on my way up to get my folder, although I made Dani and Angela promise to applaud and cheer if I did.

And then I didn't drop my student ID into the "time capsule" for the Memory Walk. Partially because I left my wallet at home, even though I made a point of bringing my tinypurse. Way to go, me.
