Class of 2012

I realize I have lots of things I need to talk about that have been going on in my life. However, I feel like I have very little time to catch up on them all. The first thing since my marathon is graduation. YIPEE!

Four years of hard work and stress coming to an end. I honestly think I was in one of the most laborious programs at my college. One of my professors said that he once had a girl in one of his classes and her dad was a professor in the school of medicine. He mentioned to her that how shocked he was at the amount of homework that she had to do and that his students didn't have that much. This is where I rest my case about a tough program.

There were late nights filled with constructing projects, xacto knife injuries, miscuts, and waiting til morning to reprint. Blood, sweat and tears went into my projects. Okay, so there were usually more tears and sweat than blood because too much blood meant restarting a project, unless it enhanced the design of my project which it usually didn't.

Graduation day was the best. I thought I was going to be late because I didn't double check the commencement ceremony arrival times. I thought it was 8:20 it was 8 and I didn't realize that until we were in the car on our way there. I think my dad broke laws once I announced my err. When we made it to the parking lot there were several people in cap and gown wandering around so I felt a little more at ease. I found where I was suppose to go and walked down the winding line of bachelor graduates. I finally saw some familiar faces of my design peers. I think almost the whole program was standing in line together. It felt like we stood there for hours but that could have been because I decided to wear cute high heel sandals and it is a long walk from the parking lot to the Hunstman center. Finally the line started moving. The rails dividing the lines kept getting skinnier and it started feeling like a heard of black cattle being herded into single file lines. When I got close enough to the core of the Huntsman building and could here the graduate march (or whatever it is called) I started to get really excited. Seeing all the people there and all the graduates it was amazing. I couldn't believe I was finally there, in cap and gown getting ready to graduate en masse. Whoever picked the speakers did a great job. The student speaker did a great job and the co founder of Pixar was very interesting. I learned a lot from those 2 speeches and I am so happy to finally be done. Now I just need to find myself a "real" job.

Thanks for reading.
