Graduation, floods and Grey's
May. 15th, 2006 11:43 pmI am a college graduate.
Weee!! =D Gloating just a LITTLE. ;)
Graduation was lovely, even if it was held indoors so my cousins had to go watch from another building on closed-circuit television. They probably had a better view than my family in the Health and Fitness Center with me. ;)
I was very happy, I sat with Tina and my friends Kim and Erica who were my neighbors for the first two years of college, and Erica was my RA for a year and a half after that. I've had half my education classes with Kim, too. It was nice. Full-circle, kind of.
There was cheering when my name was read and it surprised me enough that I don't remember how they pronounced my last name. I'm told it was correct. =P
Former governor Angus King spoke! His speech was really fun and entertaining, too, which was NICE.
I forget the context, but he was talking about how his son introduces himself as "the Angus King who was born in Maine" and when he was born, he (the governor) went running around Skowhegan telling people he had a son. He went up to some older gentleman he knew and said his son was a Mainer and the man replied "Just 'cause the cat had her kittens in the oven, it doesn't make them biscuits."
It amused me.
Like the tee-shirt in Boothbay Harbor that says "From Away."
Random. But true.
The sun came out after graduation, too, which was NICE. But by the time we got back to Gorham, it was POURING.
It's been raining since last Tuesday, and will continue for another 18 hours, according to the news. There is so much flooding in York county; I feel so badly for everyone effected.
I'm tired. It was a terrific weekend, and Mother's Day was nice, too.
It was great seeing my aunt. She flew in from California on Thursday and left Sunday, but I only saw her on Saturday. =P
The Senior Banquet on Friday was really nice, and I won a UMF nalgene water bottle, and a beach chair. A really NICE beach chair that has a cup holder and is nice and wide and comfy.
Also, it's in Hufflepuff colors.
=D
(The small things, really.)
And I'm not coherent yet about Grey's Anatomy, but....
( Holy Hannah, Batman! The Spoilers! )
I guess I was slightly more coherent than I thought.
But I am emotionally damaged from that show. =(
::sigh::
I love being done with school. I am reading books FOR MY OWN ENJOYMENT.
I read TWO books today. TWO. It was raining and cold and inside, nice and cozy with music and books.
Contentment, thy name is reading.
I read The Magician's Nephew (or reread it), and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I've started A Horse and His Boy.
I know the order is screwy, but I have all the books in one ginormous edition, as it cost $19.99 and each book individually was $6.99. ;) And this is the order they've been printed in the copy I have and I... am just reading it.
