Commencement

I won't technically be done with school until August. The last day to turn your thesis in is July 10, so I must defend before then. BUT, because of budget cuts there will be no August commencement and summer graduates were given the option to walk in the May or December commencement. I JUST found this out. I chose May.

I ordered 10 announcements and a cap and gown. I just assumed they would include the Master's thingy that distinguishes us. Nope. I got it home, torn into it all excited to see what cool thing I'd be wearing and found only a black gown, cap, and tassel. Poo. So I asked my fiance (he's been through it before) and he said yeah I should have something.

I just went back and checked the bookstore online and lo' and behold there's a Master's cap, gowns, and HOODS button. I apparently just hadn't gone to the end of the products.

I know what I just wrote was boring, but I'm so excited to wear a 'hood' with my little graduation outfit.

I'm also excited that my extended family might actually see me graduate from something.
