Today is the big day. In a few minutes I’ll don my cap, gown, and stole, and then it all commences. In a few hours, I will no longer be an engineering student, I will be an engineer. Instead of standing at the sidelines watching others go past in amusing medieval garb, I’ll be processing with them. (It would, therefore, be fantastic, if the rain stops.) It feels, for the moment, like everything is coming to an end, though I know it isn’t. That’s why they call it Commencement.

I KNEW I had missed this. For a few weeks now I’ve been thinking, “Hey I should check out Nicole’s blog again, she must’ve graduated by now!”
And indeed, of course, you have. And Magna Cum Laude as well. (I know you’d hoped to be even better than that, but I’ll just say: Wow! You did great! :D)
So yes, I simply wanna say Congratulations and I hope that you enjoy your free time in the summer before grad school starts (in the fall?).
*hug*
Many many congratulations! You’re a rocket scientist!
@Imke:
Thanks so much! Grad school starts this August, and I can hardly wait!
@B:
I am! And it’s lots of fun watching people’s expressions as I tell them that, too!
