The actual day of graduation was quite a soggy one....it rained, typical Seattle rain (rather appropriate really) the entire time. We were given plastic ponchos as we stood in line (indoors, luckily). One of the things that I enjoyed the most was the random conglomeration of people that I ended up sitting with...Sarah Peek, Stephanie Smith, Steph's roommate, Julie and I met up beforehand to walk over together. Julie left to sit with the Bachelor of Science candidates, and the rest of us went to line up with our Bachelor of Arts folks. In line we encountered Ben Bandel, a 6'7" ex-Husky football player, friend of mine from Eddie Bauer, so he ended up with us. Then, my ex-roommate (from freshman year, the goth, crazy, skulls girl) Kaarin was also in line next to us, so she joined our crowd. Then Katie Downing called and she ended up coming over as well. So in the end we had quite a random group, but it was fun anyway (minus the cold and raining part). The speaker was terrible...but oh well.
Needless to say, despite all the difficulties and trials in the last 4 years, despite rain and plastic ponchos, I graduated last Saturday, solely by the grace of God. Now, I'm an "adult"?!?!?!?!? Whatever that means, haha. Nevertheless, I know God has great plans for me in the upcoming years....I will be sharing them with you shortly.
