Yeah… Graduating was awesome. It was a long drawn out process that was terribly uncomfortable and boring… But it was a graduation, so it was what it was. 
Thank God for texting! I was basically texting Eric, Mom, other peeps that were graduating, and even a few teachers during the ceremony. There was a terribly boring and cliche Manager guy from the Opry that made only a handful of good points, but it wasn’t too bad. It didn’t take as long as I thought it would take for me to actually get up to the line… then, it was QUICK!!! Before I knew it, I was next. I was about to walk across the stage and receive my “Diploma,” which in actuality will be mailed to me later, so I got an empty folder thing, but I got it, and then there were pictures. After, I talked to a few people that I had classes with, then that was that. I was done.
It really is a complete sense of accomplishment. And I am happy.
My last day at Wal-Mart is this Thursday. I am looking forward to my last week.

I really did it. I finished college. Albeit 2 years late… but who cares!!! I am done. People keep asking me, “How do you feel?” And you know what? I really don’t know. I am not even sure that it has all really sunk in. Its like… ok. I know that I am done. I have my grades, I did all that I was supposed to do, but I have this feeling like there will be SOMETHING… I will be walking across the stage and the minute I reach out to get the ‘diploma’ I will be halted, graduation will come to a screeching halt and I will be told that some mundane detail will have been overlooked. Some test, checklist, or other THING will have to be done before I get my degree… Ok, I know this will likely not happen, but until I walk tomorrow, I am going to keep the excitement that I know I possess inside. But after the ceremony, folks, all bets are off.
Tomorrow is going to be one of the best days of my life. See you there!

Perspective, perspective, perspective…
So, I have always been told by my mom that if something was meant to be, then you will know it and things will fall in place to make it happen. That is a good piece of advice. If it feels wrong, then it probably is, but when it feels right… Go for it!!! Anywho, what I am talking about is this house that I have my eye on. I am going tomorrow to look at it. I am SO excited, but nervous… OMG… I am buying. a. house! Seriously, there is some reality there… I am buying a house. My name, My deed, My mortgage, wow… when did I become an adult??? Its crazy. And cool at the same time. As more becomes concrete, I will write it, but for now, just keep your fingers crossed and hopefully things will work out just how they are supposed to.
ALAS!!! My last programming project for my Undergraduate School Career is done. 100% done! *Sings* “Couldn’t be happier. No. Couldn’t be happier” LOL That was a Wicked reference for those of you not in the know. And with that, all that is left is an Exam and, well, graduation.
And I’m done for now.
