I GRADUATED YESTERDAY!
It wasn't as long as I thought it would be even though there was over 500 of us. It was short and sweet and I got tonnes of pictures of my friends before hand and a few of my teachers afterwards. My dad is a teacher at the college, same department different program so he was on stage when they were announcing the graduates. After I shook the hands of the college President and Vice President I was surprised by my dad greeting me with a hand shake and hug. My dad's coworkers include my bf's professors who surprisingly came up and congratulated me and hugged me and told me how proud of me they were. My bf's program coordinator even hung around to see me graduate. I felt special.
The ceremony ended nicely but the big pain in the butt was the lines. There was a line to pick up your actual diploma, a long to pick up the composite photos, a line to return your gowns because you had to right away and if you wanted a pic with a gown on you had to go down to the student centre and wait in line to use one of the three other gowns they had. After all that I went to say goodbye and get pics with some of my teachers. That's when one of my very supportive teachers asked if I would work for him this summer! He has his own small production company and does very well for himself. I was sooo honored.
My mom, bf and grandpa came as well but my grandpa was sick so couldn't stay for lunch, we picked up my bf's mom and then went to milestones for lunch. The food was DELICIOUS and very filling. I got a 50 dollar gift card for the mall so I can make my wardrobe more professional, a Doctor Suess book and The book of AWESOME which I recommend you read. It really helps make you feel good and appreciate the little things like perhaps the smell after it rains and it really makes me giggle.
So I already wrote a fair bit. I will spare you the rest. Share a couple pics. I have been trying to avoid showing my picture in case someone I know finds it but who cares. I wanna show you my adorable dress!
