Okay, it’s probably not a stretch for you to believe that my last school day memory happened, well, yesterday. If you haven’t heard it enough, I graduated from seminary with a Masters degree, my final degree and my last day as a student.
My graduation was as graduations are, but more stately and dignified than most. It was probably the least annoying graduation that I’ve been to, and the smallest. There were about 150 graduates, 67 of whom received the same degree that I did.
Though the ceremony itself was rather dignified, you can’t really make the students be dignified. I sat in a rather loud, borderline-obnoxious group of guys. There were only a few other women getting my degree, and I wasn’t near any of them. Oh well, it’s what I’ve had to deal with my entire seminary career, but now that’s done. =)
After graduation, I went out to eat with my parents and then back to their hotel where they gave me my graduation/birthday presents. In fact, that’s what I’m using right now to write this. =) From now on, many of my posts will be coming from my laptop!
And now, what you really wanted to see:
And yes, that’s a real diploma inside.
Happy weekending! Don’t forget to come by for my bloggy birthday celebration Monday!
Thanks for your support of my blog and for the suggestion. I didn’t draw your name but I’m going to send you a $10.00 gift certificate for your suggestion. I’ll incorporate it in the New Year. Again thanks.
Congratulations on your new laptop! Great graduation picture!

Crap! I hate when I start commenting under Peter’s name, not knowing he is logged in.
So I deleted *his* comment. :-)
Anywho…I think you look very pretty! And have fun with the new laptop.
Congratulations!! Wasn’t it just the best feeling when you walked out with NO MORE school obligations? Enjoy your new laptop!

You. are. awesome!
What an accomplishment! Congratulations for a job well done. I am sure you are happy to close the books for a while. Probably won’t be forever, cause there is so much more to learn. I mean the school books, I know you will not ever close the other books.
I am sure you will enjoy the new laptop too. I am thinking I need one for myself also. I just do not have a mom or dad to buy it for me, so I had better start saving my pennies.
Congratulations! What an accomplishment.
Congratulations on a job well done!
