my last worry about Evergreen
So, technically I graduated from Evergreen in, I think, September. I didn't know I WOULD be graduating until summer, so I didn't walk with my class last spring. I was told I'd be able to walk this spring instead, but I started thinking about it recently and you know... I haven't been going to that school all year, I've already started grad school... I don't feel like it would be really necessary to walk. My time at Evergreen is done.
But then I told this plan to my dad, and he was against it. He said he probably wouldn't be able to watch me graduate from AAU because its farther away, and I worked so hard at Evergreen I should get the ceremony everyone else does, and he really wants to be there and watch me graduate. He said he's even pay for my cap and gown. So okay, okay. I decided to e-mail the person in charge of graduation at Evergreen to see if it's too late and what I gotta do to walk with my class.
Turns out it's a YEAR too late. I wouldn't have been able to graduate without taking classes this fall, winter, or spring, which wasn't what I was told when I asked last summer. So I can't even graduate anyway, my diploma just came in the mail, no pomp and circumstance. So I'm back to square one, but now with a feeling of sadness that I won't get my mortarboard and tassel that I didn't have when I was FIRST thinking this.
Oh well. Nothing to be done. I'll just have a big-ass wedding one day to make up for it.
But I'll still have a graduation party. I'm thinking a big graduation-birthday-going away party all rolled into one. We're thinking June 19th. Keep it open.
