Graduation day today
My graduation ceremony for a Certificate in Massage is tonight at Columbus State. I am no longer uptight or irritable about the ceremony. I did ask my massage therapist/friend/hopeful neighbor to go with me to the ceremony and participate in the pinning ceremony. Once I asked her, and she said yes, it was all okay. Honestly, she is such an upbeat, optimistic person she makes me happy almost every time I see her. I can't wait (knock on wood) until we are neighbors.
My mom called me last night without knowing I was graduating today. I haven't talked to her since she moved to Virginia, over a month ago (or two?) because when she tried to leave her phone number on my answering machine the machine cut her off before she could leave the number. OK, that's a lame excuse. Anyway, she congratulated me when I told her I was graduating today. She sent me a bouquet of flowers. They are sitting on the bookcase outside my cubicle. They are pretty and summery and they make me happy.
For the ceremony I will be wearing a flow-y floor-length dark green dress. It's cotton, short-sleeved, slightly high-waisted, with a gauzey, crinkly skirt. It's the same dress I wore to the Dublin Irish Festival, for those of you who saw me there. I bought some pretty velvet flat mary-jane's at the thrift store last week that should go with it very nicely.
Even thought I still have to study for the boards, and I won't be licensed until after I pass them, I am still really excited to be graduating. I have been working for this day for almost three years now. It has gone by so quickly. I just know I'm going to cry tonight.
