Graduation

Alright, so it's been a little while since I last wrote something so I thought I should try to catch you all up. Yesterday was USU's 118 commencement and I was finally able to graduate. It took me three years to do it but I finally made it.
The commencement ceremony was actually really good. F. Ross Peterson the Vice President of the university was the speaker and I thought that he gave some really good advice. He talked about how often we've been told by others that we should look to the future, and cherish the past. He said that we should spend our time in the present, dealing with the hear and now. We should learn from the past and plan for the future but it all is worthless if we fail to live in the present. I've been thinking about how I can change my outlook on life to reflect this advice, I haven't come up with anything specific yet but I'm sure I will.
After the commencement I got together with my family. Tara, Dov, Matan and Sienna were there along with Jana, Mom, and Dad. It was a blast to get together with them all, it was the highlight of the day to just sit around the house and chill with them all. The only thing that could've made it better would be if Brooks, Bonny, Nate, Malory, and Landon could've been there; but they all had good excuses. Plus I've still got my law school graduation so they can totally redeem themselves.
It feels a little strange that I don't have to worry about school next semester. I know I'm not done with my education just yet but it certainly is a relief to have my undergraduate degree behind me. It was an important step and I look forward to my final destination - law school. I don't know where I'm going, though I do have my information together for the applications. I just am waiting on some more forms so that I can send all the applications out and not have to worry about it. Don't worry I'll be sure to keep you all up to date on the whole process cause I know you're all waiting with bated breath.

Hi Chris,
It was a pretty great day when you graduated. I am glad I got to be there. My favorite part of the day is the picture of you and your dad standing together. We sure love you.

Fekcitari pentru absolvire. Stiu ce inseamna sa nu ai scoala pentru o vreme; e cam ciudat si inca mai simt ca am lecti pentru scoala si ma stresez chiar daca sunt gata. Ti-am zis ca si eu as vrea sa merg la drept? Poate intr-o buna zi. Bafta!
