I'm an alumni!!! Well, at least that's what I can say until fall, when I'm technically re-enrolled again as a graduate student. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I know that shit is going to be hard as balls. Oh well, one step at a time.
Anyway this weekend has been extremely busy, but sucessful. My dad's entire family came down (haven't seen most of them for years) so that was fun. Their all heavy drinkers and kept trying to get my to drink with them...in front of my parents, WHO NEVER DRINK. That was awkward, but I did have some champagne!
A few friends of mine came up to my department ceremony (friday). That was very touching and I can't thank them enough! In all of the craziness that was graduation my parents met a few of the people that I mention from time to time. You know, those people hat I mention and they look at me funny and go, "who? Who the hell is that?". Yes, now they can rest assure that they know a few more people in my life.
Graduation today was crazy. It was hot and extremely long. Half the undergrads got up and left around the time that they were calling the PhD students (about an hr in), and the other half (myself included) were either text messaging away, or -talking on the cell phone. At least Damian and Will kept me occupied during that drawn-out experience. Thanks guys, for texting me! It also helped that the people sitting around me were cracking jokes, keeping all of us awake and laughing.
I got about $400+ from my family members. I still can't believe that, seeing as how I had about $5 in my checking account as of yesterday (after buying mothers day gifts and paying a few bills). Yes, that money will probably go to pay off more bills, but at least it's $400 that I didn't have. I didn't expect to get that from any of them.
My parents helped me move out today and that was a fail and a half. I never really had time to completely pack EVERYTHING since I have been in and out of greenville for the past few days. So I had to semi-pack while they stood there looking at me dumbfounded, just all in the way. Oh, parents. Gotta love them.
Well I'm "home" now. I use quotes because this is not really my home anymore, just a dwelling that I'm chilling at until the lease for the apartment starts. Then it's "real living" then! Yessir.
I'm tired. But I feel very accomplished. Let's see if I can actually graduate from graduate school...
Toodles .
