YES! Tonight, at 7-8ish, I walked across a platform and got my DEGREE! I am now officially a college graduate! It's SO amazing! Me and the guys I was standing with were like "Wow, this is really happening!"

We wore the robes, the silly hat with that tassel (mine was red) and we got hooded according to our field of study! I just feel so accomplished and everyone congratulated us and said they were proud of us. It was such a good night!

....

and I didn't trip or anything.

Then me and my family went out to dinner with three of my bestest friends and we spent almost three hours just talking with my friends getting to know my family and nerding over the Avengers film we saw at midnight this morning as well as other things like John Williams, Star Trek, the life of a missionary/pastor... It was so wonderful. I felt like we were all old friends.

So yeah, even though I'm dead tired and this entire day was busy as JUNK, it paid off. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

and yet, it's kind of bittersweet too. I don't want to leave NC and all these wonderful people here. I'll miss the school and my teachers and the students (yeah, even the freshmen/sophomores ) But, who knows what God will do in the future? Maybe I'll get to come back and move in with my friend! (I'm hoping!) So, it's not the end! God-willing, I will be back!



So, yeah! I'm A GRADUATE! YEAH!!!

I felt like I should be at Hogwarts with my robes... but the hat and the hood were annoying..

Ok, that's it. Now, Imma go and listen to some wonderful Mumford'n'Sons. Cheers!
