Graduation

So I graduated this friday. That was entertaining. The funny thing about
graduation from college, at least my graduation from college, is that
I expected it to be anticlimactic, but it wasn't. It was a big deal. I
suppose that it's a testament to the college that they managed to give a
little weight to the ceremony, but nonetheless, I was impressed.
Of course, navigating a weekend with my parents, Anna's parents, basically
everybody and their mom was a chore requiring little sleep and much in the
way of logistics, but that's what you get. It's funny that during finals
week I slept 8 hours a day, but during senior week, when ostensibly I should
have no work to do, I got 5-6 hours of sleep a night. Maybe it was my
sleep-induced haze that lent gravity to the ceremony.
All that for a piece of paper. It doesn't even say what my majors were. Just

Bachelor of Arts


Boy, you'd think that after that kind of courtship I'd be married to the arts,
and not still playing the field. I dunno. I'll be posting pictures of the
ceremony shortly.
