I officially graduated from Virginia Tech today with a major in English and a minor in Russian.
The commencement last night lasted about 18 minutes before the torrential rain started and lightening was seen in the area. A thunderous choir of joyous shouts erupted when President Steeger told us to evacuate the stadium. He never declared us actual graduates!
So today I went to the English Department ceremony at 1:30. It actually went off really well. We walked into the room while bagpipes played. The speaker was pretty funny and had good advice. I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be as I walked across the stage. I got my huge diploma and soon after that it was over!
And then commenced the picture taking. I don't think I've stood still for pictures for that long ever. I think that between my mom and Aunt Sandi there are about 800 pictures of me from the past two days!
On to the next phase of my life. What it holds, I don't know yet. All I know is that this week I get to repaint my room and in June I get an iPhone.
