Hey, they might not have appreciated it, but I can attest that Ithaca had a very beautiful campus and you are right to feel such pride. Graduation is huge, it is grand! It is the start of a new stage in your life. I'm sorry your parents missed that point.
I personally don't get the Bible Belt love...I never really think about SL that way. Maybe I'm blind. Maybe I just see it as a place to live, like so many others out there. Maybe I just see it for the friends and family around...changing as that might be...
Like I said before...the liberal thing has been tossed at me many a time. I don't get it. I hope it isn't a disease you get when you are older (though, it scares me, cause I can see different older generations in my family acting similarly even though they obviously don't know they are - I can't imagine the discussion that would follow me bringing that up). haha...or sigh... not sure which is more appropriate...
What I think is my saving grace is my sense of humor. You have to be able to take things lightly sometimes...it isn't always easy, but...alas...such is life. Anyway, I'm quite in the comment rambling. ttyl...hope you start to feel better...

ps. dude, we need to get together while you're here!
