many of my friends have recently graduated college or are soon going to graduate from college soon and i was discussing the graduation process and the transition from kid who's going to school and living with parents to adult with a job living on ones own. i've decided:
a) i fucking HATE graduation ceremonies. so much pomp and circumstance (no pun intended) shoved into this ceremony that it's ludicris to sit through all of it. who the fuck really cares about the school mace? just the word mace irritates me. also, i disagree wholly with "honorary degrees." it's like the honorary oscar. you didn't earn a degree. you don't get a fucking diploma!
b) i have always been i a huge hurry to be a grown-up. yes, having no parents has a tendency to make you mature a bit faster, but even before i had no parents i dreamed of being an adult doing adult things like going to work, buying my own groceries, having a place of my own and the like. i've been living the adult life pretty much since i was 20 and i think i've goten pretty darn good at it. it's not like i didn't have a childhood or any crap like that, but i never really wanted to take my time becoming an adult. i hated being a teenager and i couldn't wait to grow up. now i am grown up. i'm having a darn good time.
time to have a chicken sandwich at texas roadhouse compliments of my fabulous teachers (my pilates class in hancock county). yay!
