Diary 05/01

Today is G day :0D

I'm feeling emotional... The day I sometimes thought would never come is finally upon us. I am more than ready. We check out of the hotel at 7:30a in order to get to Pitt, park and register by 9a. We have a full day planned. It looks like we have a MLIS graduation at 9:30, followed by brunch, then a college commencement at 1p. We are taking all sorts of pictures.

I am wondering if the graduation and following commencement are the same thing and if we should to stay for both. I'm going to check with the group after the first ceremony and see how they feel. I miss my home and am ready to head back to my comfort zone. The sooner the better.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been here for me during this roll-a-coaster two years. You supported me emotionally, helped in any financial way - through scholarships, book donations, gas/toll money etc., prayed for me, sent me energy, read/critiqued my work and so on. Nothing was taken for granted and nothing will be forgotten. If you need me send up smoke signals, I'll come running.

Graduation re-cap coming soon...
