The Graduate

Yesterday I finally graduated college.. A day I've looked forward to since I started school.. It wasn't until yesterday that it really even set in what I achomplished until my grandmother and i were looking at an old photo album and found a newspaper clipping my mom had saved from kindergarden.. it was from one day when were told to dress up like what we wanted to be when we grew up.. and what was I? A scientist... now granted at this moment I am not a "scientist" but I finally did graduate with a BA in a Social Science.. and well the potential to become a social scientist! How cool :) I wanted to share with you all my graduation experience..

10:00 University Graduation- All us theatre kids sat together in the back and made a bit of "Noise"
11:30 Theatre Dept Graduation- Dr. V. forgot me.. Ed called me Sue ( my middle name that I hate) and My candy diploma was broken :(
3:00 Psycholgy Dept. Graduation- I won the Joseph Awkard Service award and Zach missed it!


That Concludes the day long events of graduation in a nice brief summary : )

42 days!

And the countdown is on! There is only 42 days between now and our wedding! That is a scary thought! I have so much to do before then in order to make that day happen! My dress finally came in and I had an opportunity to take some bridal portraits on Wrightsville Beach which I'd love to share but I know Zach would sneak a peek! The wind gave us quite a bit of trouble and it blew my dress in every direction but down and my veil in my face and off my head more times then I'd like to recall BUT there were some fabulous pictures in there! But for a Zach friendly sneak peak.. Here ya go :)

As the wedding time nears its such a wonderful feeling to have so many things accomplished but the do list keeps growing and growing and gives me a little bit of queasiness sometimes! I am currently taking requests for music at the wedding as I am now beginning the wedding play list so if you have any particular requests Let me know ;)

I am asking asking anyone outthere if they have a projector for a slide show during the reception that we could use/borrow/rent and if anyone has one of those play pins that you can put up that resembles this our ring bearers

would really love to be apart of the reception and would be returned immediatly after the reception! Thank you in advance!

And for the rest of the wedding things are rolling on..

The End is near....

It's hard to believe that I'm about to graduate from college.. It's this scary, amazing step forward in life that leads me to think What NOW? For four years I have been a college student, attending classes, doing homework, going to club meetings, campus activities, using the campus resources, getting student discounts, and NOW in 1 week I will be a College Graduate!! I am going to be the first person in my family to have ever graduated from a four year university!! Throughout the process it felt somewhat mundane... Going to school just like "everyone" else.. but when I think about it.. Statistically not "everyone" goes to college.. But then when I also think about the resume I had to create for my Senior Seminar and all the things I had to put on there... and the fact that I have to create 2 for each of my majors.. I feel like it's been way longer than four years! 

 The hardest things about getting ready to graduate is the scary fact of what am I going to do all day? I am currently HUNTING for work like its a job but after school.. Thats all I have to do! I am so used to 6 classes to attend, 6 classes worth of homework, projects for classes and the theatre, being president of a student organization, working, and just life.. Now In reality i just have work and life! What do you do with all the extra time!?! This one day has been coming for a long time but with the reality of it sinking in as each day passes an one more class is over as one more project is completed, and as the new president of Psi Chi takes over.. I keep finding my self veged out on the couch.. Feeling like i need to be doing something and not knowing what to do... I guess I can finally work on some of those wedding things.. Since thats creeping up too!!
