Big recap

Well I had quite a big weekend. I graduated from college (finally.. uh, I mean finnaly). Just when I thought the rehearsal was rediculously unorganized....

The music stopped when I was half way down the stairs onto the stage. Then the lady started to welcome everyone and the national anthem started when the whole other school was walking down. To make matters worse, most of them didn't have enough chairs!!

At least it didn't rain. But I would have preferred it if were cloudy, though. I was in the direct sunlight the whole time.

I'm so happy though. I ended up with a 3.69 GPA which means I graduated cum laude and got to wear a medal.

The party in the afternoon was a lot of fun too. There was good food, and a really nice champaign toast from Daddy. I wish Connie, Josh and Lexibean could have been there, though.

Christopher must think I'm so silly!

Mmm... yummy carrot cake!

I need order, people!

Well today I went to the most un-organized graduation rehearsal. I can't imagine how it ran with the entire class there.

We gathered at the Cistern and the lady spoke about how we shouldn't walk too close together, but don't have big gaps. And about how we'll go to the room for our major in Maybank Hall, and the flowers will be in front of Maybank... you know, all that stuff. Well most people were talking and not really paying attention, mostly because she was telling us stuff we already knew.

Then we went to the rooms where we will meet Saturday and after several minutes someone came in and told us to line up alphabetically. Well it was pretty chaotic saying "what's your name?" "R's over here!" and such. As we walked out of the room I noticed this one girl who I had a class with, whose last name starts with a T, was behind me! Ugh, hopefully it'll be better Saturday when we'll have our cards and can easily look and realize, oh I'm supposed to be over there.

Then we walked to the stage and sat down. I'm going to be stage right (so when you look at the stage, I'll be on the left). I'm somewhat towards the middle-ish. I'm one of the last Psychology majors, and then there's only Sociology in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Then there's the School of Languages, Cultures and World Affairs, which is basically the Spanish, French, etc majors... and there aren't many.

We didn't go through the whole ceremony like in high school. She only said to go to whoever if your name is difficult to pronounce so she can mark it. Then she reminded us to hold the flowers in our left arm and take the "diploma" with our left hand and shake with our right. Okay, most of us graduated high school 4 years ago, we remember.

Oh and the President won't be there because his son is graduating from U of GA at the same time. I've had the worst luck when it comes to graduations!

Stick a fork in me

I'm done!!!! Yay! **big exhale**

The bad thing was that I had a bad headache yesterday so I couldn't really celebrate.

Steven and I have gotten back in touch with friends from high school. Actually two of them (Braden and Melissa) live down the street from him, and have for a while, and for some reason we only just now started hanging out again. I'm not really sure why... it's not like we had a falling out or anything.

Anyways, at Braden and Melissa's was Casey, Shane, Arthur... and others but those are the ones I know. Since I had a bad headache I didn't want to drink anything (and since I was driving home I was only going to have 1). I was going to tell people that I was drinking rum and coke instead of coke and coke. Oh well, no one cared which is cool.

I told them I'd make up for it at my graduation party at Jackie's. (By the way, tell Erich that Steven was really talking him up! He kept saying, "yeah her brother in law is really cool... he's an ex-Marine... yes I corrected him, once a Marine always a Marine or something, lol). So yeah, I hope we're still partying because I invited some people.

1 down... 4 to go.

Well I took my first exam today... Psychology of Gender. It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't cumulative and the material wasn't excruciating.

Next up: Sports Ethics Monday, Sensation & Perception Tuesday (really NOT looking forward to this one), Accounting Thursday, and Philosophy Friday.

I realized the other day that this will be first first final exam in Accounting ever. In high school I exempted both Acct 1 & 2. And the professor I had for ACCT 203 & 204 allowed you to exempt if you had an A. This is very rare in college, and I was lucky. I guess it's good though that this is my first final (ironically my next to last exam ever). The problem is... I'm not sure how to study for it. Ugh.
