raining on graduation

I'm graduating today from college.

And it's raining. Like woah. x_x; And we're supposed to graduate outside. And yeah there's a tent but it only covers a certain part of the field so not sure if that will cover everyone who is coming.

That and I guess now we have to march in with umbrellas. ^^;;

Blah. *shoos the rain*

And man I kinda wish I hadn't packed up the sewing machine because this robe needs some work on it. Cheap, yo, cheap! They didn't even surge the ends so they're fraying all over me. x_x;; Come on now, if you're not going to surge, at least do a rolling hem instead of a basic hem. That's just lazy.

graduated

I am graduated!

And give me a brief moment to brag that I got cum laude (meaning I had a GPA of 3.6)

...I really wish they had given us a day after graduation to move out though instead of making us leave right afterwards.

Because today was seriously one of the hardest days ever for me. I had to hold back tears so many times. First being when they called out Ian's name and his sisters received his diploma and everyone clapped for over a minute straight. Second time was when I was saying goodbye to my professors (I was doing good until Robin Bates knocked my hat off with the force of his hug, damnit ;_;). Third time was while packing up and my family started rushing me and I didn't know they had plans for the day, I thought I had the full time allowed and was planning to use it all to stay as long as possible.

And fourth time was when leaving the school, of course. I'm going to miss that place so much.

I also went through a lot of emotions the night before. Convocation was amazing as Ben Click, one of my favorite professors, was the speaker and so it was amazing and hilarious. And he put in a whole bit about Ian and Amanda started bawling and I think my focus on comforting her there was what stopped me from also crying.

But man, I am so insanely tired. XP And yes it did rain. lol But at least it wasn't pouring when we walked to the tent. Was kinda funny watching all the parents who couldn't fit under the tent standing there with umbrellas. But yeah, after packing up and going home, had dinner and celebration with the family...except all I really wanted to do was sleep. XP I was so dead. So may go to bed early tonight 'cause yeah...*dead*.
