Well this is it. Graduation weekend. This will be one of the most stressful weekends of my life probably. Not only am I graduating but not really graduating, but my parents are flying in today, and tomorrow my parents and Sarah's parents meet for the first time.
I'm not really graduating because Greenville College screwed up my schedule when they changed from a 4 credit system to a 3 credit system after my freshman year. I asked my advisor at the time if the schedule that we had made was still going to work and he said that it would. Come Junior year he has me make an appointment with him and tells me that we have some problems. grrr.... so since I needed to stay here another semester anyway, I decided to add a minor. History/Poly-Science. I only needed 3 more classes in it anyway. So I will go through the entire graduation ceremony this weekend and when I walk up on stage to get my diploma, I will get an empty frame.
I can't leave my house today until I know that my dad has safely gotten on the plane to fly out here. Valerie made me promise that I would be around in case he has any problems. His flight doesn't leave for another hour and fourty-five minutes. That won't leave me much time to do everything that I need to do before I leave to pick up mom at the airport.
Our parents meeting could be fun. I don't think that they have anything in common. As long as they stay away from religion and politics it should be ok. But so many things are somehow able to relate to those two that I am a little nervous. I'm sure it will go fine. It is only one meal. What could go wrong during one meal? right...?
