I&#8217;m having a hard time deciding how big a deal i want to make this, since i&#8217;m not *really* done with classes yet and it doesn&#8217;t really feel like a *real* graduation to me. so right now, i&#8217;ve only told my family to come down&#8230; no one else. i&#8217;m not even sure if i should tell anyone. Part of me wants to see my friends there, part of me also doesn&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;s a *real* graduation and it&#8217;s not really worth it. Or maybe part of me is just afraid of inviting people and telling them to come and them not showing up for it. I know people are really busy these days &#8212; working, school, other graduations, etc &#8212; and chances are not good that they can make it down for my graduation&#8230; my not-really-real graduation.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it sort of has a bad flavor in my mouth. once again, a graduation with a bad flavor in my mouth. it&#8217;s a long story, too long to detail here, but graduations and me haven&#8217;t ever had a happy coexistence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; &#8220;we were like oil and vinegar.. we just didn&#8217;t mix.&#8221; &#8212; harry caray on mother teresa, SNL<\/p>\n<p>i&#8217;m sort of excited though, although i don&#8217;t really feel like it&#8217;s really going to be my thing. i&#8217;m there for jen&#8217;s grad, or other people&#8217;s graduations&#8230; i don&#8217;t really feel like i have anything to celebrate for myself just yet.<\/p>\n<p>eventually i&#8217;ll graduate. i know jer&#8217;s counting the days. =P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve fallen off the face of the earth!! have i disappeared?? i feel like i have&#8230; :( soooo out of the loop. graduations are coming up this week, and it&#8217;s a busy time for everyone. at this point, i&#8217;m walking in three ceremonies: the huge L&amp;S one, History, and Anthropology.
