I am now a college graduate
I now have my Bachelor of Arts degree in human biology, although my diploma doesn't say the human biology part. I can't really believe it. Graduation was indescribably happy and sad all at the same time. The ceremony was beautiful and it made me and everyone else cry. I was emotional all day, angry with my mom for stressing me out and then so happy that they and everyone had come to see me. My brother was there, my mom and dad, my grandma, my aunt and uncle and two little cousins. We then went out to dinner at the Macaroni Grill and my favorite prof and her husband came with us. It couldn't have been more perfect. The only glitch in the ceremony was that the president wanted to walk across the stage with me even though I told her before that I would walk by myself. So as a result of this, I ended up staying up longer on the stage than everyone else and got more cheers and clapping than anyone else. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing. It was all over so fast, too fast. The last night in the dorms was so sad. I hung out with some friends and we tried, unsuccessfully, to break in to the sc ripps pool so we could go skinny dipping. Someone said htey had the code but the code had been changed and so we couldn't get in. So we all went back to the nearest dorm and stood around with our towels looking pitiful. There were so many people hwo I saw that were sobbing uncontrolably, especially Monday morning when we all moved out. I cried but not sobbing. I hugged my friend Shana goodbye and she was crying so hard that it made me cry harder than I already was. I think I said goodbye to mostly everybody, but I"m sure I missed some. I am so sad to have left. It was the best decision I ever made to go to Scripps and I only hope that the decision to go to Northwestern is just as good, if not better, than Scripps. Now there's so much to be done with finding a place to live in Chicago. I don't know how I'm going to do it all. My parents are helping me, but they're just as clueless as I am. I've never looked for an apartment before. Anyway, that's about all from here. I have so much to do with getting my new computer set up and unpacking everything and writing one more scholarship essay.
