It's official....I have a BS in Psychology from the University of Mary Washington....I really did it. I feel like half of graduation is lost on me because I'll be back at UMW in 3 months for grad school so it doesn't seem very final to me. I thought I'd just mention some memorable moments of the day instead of going the sappy, sentimental route.
- Not being able to sleep the night before, half due to the loud and obnoxious people still partying next door and outside at 2am and half due to being too anxious.
- How freaking complicated it is to put on that hood!
- Losing my shoe on campus walk during the procession and having to stop to put it back on.
- Being able to turn my tassel from the right side to the left.
- Having my name called, walking across the stage, shaking President Hurley's hand, and getting my diploma
- Cheering and clapping for my friends as they walk across the stage and get their diplomas
- Being hit in the head by a mortar board cap while everyone else in the vicinity avoided them...welcome to my life
- Seeing Andrew before hand without any weirdness, only smiles....and the fact that he decided to wear khaki shorts and boat shoes to graduation
- Hearing my parents cheer and yell my name throughout the ceremony
- Getting the traditional parent/daughter picture that eluded us at my high school graduation
