I've fallen off the face of the earth!! have i disappeared??
i feel like i have... :(
soooo out of the loop.
graduations are coming up this week, and it's a busy time for everyone. at this point, i'm walking in three ceremonies: the huge L&S one, History, and Anthropology. I'm having a hard time deciding how big a deal i want to make this, since i'm not *really* done with classes yet and it doesn't really feel like a *real* graduation to me. so right now, i've only told my family to come down... no one else. i'm not even sure if i should tell anyone. Part of me wants to see my friends there, part of me also doesn't feel like it's a *real* graduation and it'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 -- working, school, other graduations, etc -- and chances are not good that they can make it down for my graduation... my not-really-real graduation.
I guess it sort of has a bad flavor in my mouth. once again, a graduation with a bad flavor in my mouth. it's a long story, too long to detail here, but graduations and me haven't ever had a happy coexistence.

i'm sort of excited though, although i don't really feel like it's really going to be my thing. i'm there for jen's grad, or other people's graduations... i don't really feel like i have anything to celebrate for myself just yet.
eventually i'll graduate. i know jer's counting the days. =P
wow, so many posts... i'm confused on which on to comment on :) Just picked this one to say "I'll come to your graduation!!!" :) Seriously though, let me know when one of the three are and I'll be there. I know that graduations are just kind of whatevers and mainly for the parents, but it is a once in a lifetime thing for people. It doesn't matter if you're not official done. You only walk once (well, I guess you could walk again if you wanted too, but who would) As for inviting friends, just do it. :) Don't paint yourself into a corner of unhappiness just because you can. At least take the chance. Give us friends a chance too!! :) hee hee. Anyway, I hope we can talk soon.
