it's offical!

i now have graduated from college! woo. the ceremony wasn't quite as boring as i anticipated. the student speaker was so-so, but the actual speaker was short and funny - yet inspiring. excellent choice if i say so myself. afterwards nick and i celebrated at the melting pot downtown. too bad brooke was working a banquet room or we could have maybe had her for a server. we realized we haven't been there in exactly a year! we'd gone for chris's birthday this week last year when he was in town for nick's graduation. but it was worth the wait. now i face the "real world". who knows what direction i'll go in next. for now i do know i will be a nanny in the afternoons for the rest of the month.
