I Graduated!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

It’s been a few days but I graduated from university last week – Thursday! I’m so glad it’s finally over. My overall GPA was a 3.455, for my major it was around a 3.804 which isn’t bad considering my upper division grades were stronger than my lower division ones so it all balanced out. It’s been a long and bumpy road, one I wasn’t sure I was ever going to get to the end of. I’m still surprised I’m here, that I walked across that stage, that I finally did something worthwhile.

I’m also happy to say that three of my poems have been accepted for publication in a magazine! It’s a quarterly one and I got an acceptance letter a couple of weeks ago. First publication of anything that I’ve sent in. I’d been too scatter-brained and certain of rejection to really try before.

Pictures.

Merry Christmas to you all! It’s still a day early but I’m probably not going to blog tomorrow.

I finished wrapping presents today. I’m such a procrastinator.

I’m thinking of delaying graduation to May so my parents can see me walk. I’m not sure if a delay is possible this late, though. I just want to give my parents something since they did help me through university and helped me get this far. Without them I’m sure I would not have gotten here.

If I can’t delay it, I can’t delay it.

I went to Vegas for two days. It was so much colder than the other times I’ve gone. There was snow on the sides of the roads on the way there. However, it was pretty nice. I didn’t drink much (to my friend’s chagrin) or gamble. I got a cute bag and matching wallet. The bag was my Christmas present and I got the wallet myself. :happy:
