I’m graduated!    My
friends Sahayini, Paulette, and I went to the ceremony this morning,
listened to Bob Schieffer (of the CBS Evening News) speak, and then
while he was speaking, the heavens opened!  So we stuck it out for
a few minutes but got totally soaked.  So they moved us indoors
and
they just read my name as I walked across the stage and got my
“diploma” – I really got it last September!  It actually worked
out pretty well that it rained because we didn’t have to sit through
about 300 undergraduate names before they got to the master’s
degrees.  I was number 479!  I  had a fun
time.  I saw lots of people I knew and especially got to reconnect
with the director of my program (who was also far and away my favorite
professor).  We took lots of pictures but I don’t have the cable
to download them.  So I’ll return the camera to Julie and she’ll
help me download them.  Then I’ll put them here!
