Judy, the service was nice except for the speaker. He was some big military guy with a lot of accomplishments, but his speech was terrible. His big advice was to not wear dredlocks (sp?), a t-shirt, and jeans to a job interview.
After the ceremony, my family and friends went out to eat. My Mom's gift to me was a scrapbook of my life from the time I was born until graduation. It was too sweet for words. After that, several of my graduating friends and I got together for the rest of the night. We had a blast! These are also the same people who will be in grad school with me. It will be fun to share the graduate experience together after becoming so close during undergrad.
Anyway, it was a great day and the future is looking pretty exciting.
