Graduation Joy

High School Graduation Joy, originally uploaded by danette5.

Well,

Nothing really deep or profound. In about 10 hours, I will graduate from the U of I. Four and a half years of my life, built up to this moment. It is pretty exciting, and yet, pretty surreal. It doesn't have the same feel of high school graduation when the big kids get their free days and goof off time to 'practice' the ceremony. Nor is the weather warming to a glorious summer. Instead, we finish exams, and head off to our smaller ceremony in the dead of winter.

Thank you to all who have been instrumental in me getting to this point. Whether it be emotional, financial, or spiritual support, I truly appreciate what you have given to me. It has been a true blessing to be a classmate, friend, and family member of yours.

I look forward to the coming years, finally realizing that the calendar does in fact go past 2008. I wish you all the best in your endeavors and I truly hope that God moves in your lives as you move on to the adult stage of life. Those of you who are already there, welcome us with open arms; we're still pretty much kids. :)
