Wow, it's been a while since I last posted. So here goes. The day of graduation looked to threaten rain showers to start out with, but it turned into a beautiful day. It was a little chilly, but that's better than steamin' hot. The Baccalaureate started the day off at 10:00 and then Mom, Dad, and I went to the President's luncheon accompanied by Nate. We then gathered for a class picture and proceeded to line up for the processional. The speaker kept it lively and short (I thought), and then I recieved my piece of paper that says I have a degree - I felt like a whole new person....not really! I hd the pleasure of going around to greet and hug friends and family and friends' families afterwards. I dragged Philip along to take pictures. Later, we had a party at the PhiloBets place. Dad grilled up some delicious meats which was complemented by salad, pasta salad, chips, and fresh mint tea. We finished up the evening by playing a rousing and competetive game of Bocce Ball. It was a close game but Jared, Rebekah, and David ended up edging out a win over Anita, Philip, and I.
Martin and Vincent chilling at the Commencement. Poor Vincent hurt the underside of his foot when he stepped on a man-hole cover. Martin had to rush him off to dress the wound and they missed a little of the program.
The Sibs - in order of graduation/pending graduation from left to right. Martin was missing and we were missing Candice and Carmen - it's just not quite the same without you!
Mom and Dad being all proud of me and me smiling like a doofus!
The commencement exercises did get a little long for those of us not involved in the graduation itself - I did get a little antsy myself after the B.A.'s were given. We were outnumbered about 3 to 1 by the B.S.'s I believe.
My good friend Nate Rittenhouse and I. We shared lots of good times together and will continue to do so by nature of us being housemates this upcoming year. We will be renting an apartment in Bridgewater.
...and good times were had by all. I can say that I'm glad and relieved that it is all over - kinda crazy.
Love to you all,
Diech
