So I decided I'm going to walk...graduate College the right way, right? Anyway, I picked up my cap and gown today, and it's surprising to me how depressing that simple task can be.
It's like, you walk away looking at campus, the dorms, and everywhere you've been, and realize it's all over. I decided that the perfect cure for my meloncholy feeling would be a McFlurry...it seems to have solved all the problems for the moment.
You know what else gets me? Packing. It's like pretending to move everything in the same condition it is now, and have it be the same. Not the ticket. I know that when I take this shit out of boxes in Florida, it's not going to have anywhere near the same meaning as it does to me now. Who's going to appreciate me having a chalkboard to write on the wall when I don't want to erase what's already on it?
And one other thing. My precious cat has no idea what she's in for...No idea. Oh well, like I said, she can find a lizard to play with while I'm gone.
90 bucks to extract a hard drive? You've got to be kidding me.
And so it is...
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me...
Most of the time...

That's it. It's all over. Did we learn anything? Maybe something about texts and science, maybe a bit more about ourselves, and maybe a whole lot more about people. It's surreal. 4 years in a blink. But the question I have is this: if you could do it all over again, would you? And further, would you make the same decisions? My response? Not on my life, and what decisions?
Florida has no idea whats coming...
It's not all over. We've left undergrad behind for an education that trains us specifically for our career. We're moving from a wide range of casual social interaction to a time of fewer relationships and more focused commitments. We're leaving the familiar to test our mettle in the unfamiliar.
We've left the silver platter behind and we miss it. But, we're about to discover the far greater joy that arises out of loss and the incomparable triumph that comes from gratitude. We only hesitate because we don't know. We only miss the past because we can't see the future.
And your future, Stephanie, is gonna kick major ass. =D
