St. Mary's Graduation
Well, just a couple of minutes ago I was feeling all sad about being done with college. But now that I'm listening to the Jimmy Buffett music I just uploaded into iTunes, I feel much better. Takes a lot of the pressure off. I don't have to be the best, just my best. The most important thing is remember not to take things too personally, or, even worse, to take things too seriously. If there's one thing I've learned these past 4 years, that would be it. I know more than I think I know, but I don't have to be the best to be successful or happy.
And Key West is my home, right after Hampstead and St. Mary's. B-)
Graduation was very St. Mary's. Plenty of ceremony, but right on the water. We take ourselves seriously, but we don't forget to have fun and appreciate the scenery and people around us. I think my favorite moment, along with walking across the stage and hearing "magna cum laude" was the receiving line of professors at the end, particularly Professor Holden. The look on his face afterwards when he saw I was barefoot was priceless. No, I did not graduate barefoot, but I took off those dang painful shoes at the first possible opportunity. Yes, I was walking around afterwards in my cap and gown in my bare feet. :-)
I'm proud to call myself a graduate of St. Mary's. If I had it all to do over again, I'd still choose St. Mary's.

My feet were SO dirty by the time I got home. For the rest of the day, I only put on shoes to go into IHOP (for lunch, long story), and to go into the hrocery store to pick up my cake.
