I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I am so damn emotional these days. I went to graduation today, although I didn’t know anyone graduating except a few of our workstudy students and my boss-yeah, that’s right my boss just finished up an MFA program as well as already having an MA and ya know, being Dean.
Anyway, I had to fight back tears the whole damn time. I didn’t cry, I just felt like I could or would if I didn’t fight them. There was the beautiful song performed by one of the University’s jazz ensembles and some awesome vocalists, there were the many (did I say many?) motivational speeches by outstanding achievers. One of my favorites was an Honorary Doctorate bestowed posthumously. I was sad that the woman was dead-why couldn’t you recognize her while she was living and here to see all the nice things people had to say about her. Apparently, she just died last month, and she knew she was going to receive the award. That made me feel better. Anyway it was very, very long, but it was a pretty laid back, fun art school graduation, so I’m not at all mad I went. Plus, I had rockin’ box seats from my boss-did I mention she’s Dean and graduating. It was a nice day out of the office and pretty invigorating for the spirit as well. Is it Friday, yet?
