convocation

So today was convocation. I have to admit that while I was happier to be there than expected, it was not at all happy and festive as it ought to be. Too early in the morning, no friends, painful shoes, thirsty... especially no friends. It makes me sad that the photos show how little fun I was having. As little as I cared it was still an important life event and now I will remember it until alzheimers kicks in. To be fair I was tired, thirsty, and hungry. That makes a person grumpy.

Of course some good did come out of it: for once my name was pronounced correctly! And I made Dean's List! Plus a friend cared enough to send flowers, and another wrote a card. That's so thoughtful I am almost ashamed of not having done the same for them.

Sigh. I need hugs.
