{Graduation}

Graduation was like a huge sigh of relief. It was great.

Graduation day was quite busy, though. First thing in the morning husband and I went to Brenden's graduation and afterwards we went to Natalie's graduation. It wasn't as terribly boring as I had anticipated since at Brenden's graduation ceremony some of the music students performed and at Natalie's the speech was pretty entertaining. Not bad at all!

My ceremony on the other hand, was terribly boring....it was truly awful.I felt bad for all my wonderful family who came to the ceremony who had to sit through that boring-ness. It was so terrible because first off, the main speech was awful. The guy who gave it was some old political science professor who was retiring that year. I'm not even sure what he spoke about. He touched on every single gospel without tying it together to linking it to graduation or anything. I may or may  not have spent the entire speech looking through the program to find good baby names :) Secondly, I'm in the leftover college that houses majors such as sociology, geography, political science, neuroscience, etc...basically a hodgepodge of random majors thrown together. 20% of BYU graduates come out of this college, that's a lot, a lot, a lot. That means that my graduation ceremony took FOREVER...the reading of the names was terribly long. Thank goodness I was able to sit next to some good friends of mine during the ceremony. Jokes and laughs sure makes time go faster!

Luckily, names were read off according to college which were in alphabetical order, meaning that SOCIOLOGY was last on the list. This was awesome because although I did have to wait forever to get my diploma [FAKE...bummer. I should be getting it in the mail in a few weeks...], I only had to wait about 5 minutes after I got mine for the ceremony to end and I could leave. Not bad.

Here are some pictures from that day:

  










Hooray for graduating!! College was great and fabulous, but I'm glad to be finished!
Now on the the next chapter of my life!
