Threshold Thursday

Aptly named blog post, even if it is a little cheesy as all alliterations are.

How do I describe graduation? It's like that 16th birthday party you've been planning for months and months and months. You're fussing over your dress, guest lists, food, decorations, and the anticipation and excitement escalates so much that the feeling becomes tangible. The day finally comes and before you know it, it's over. You're 16.
That's how graduation was for me, the ceremony itself *POOF* came and went. It was the end of my high school career and free education. One minute I'm an EV senior, the next minute an EV alumnus. Heinous. But then I remembered something that a sagacious man told me: "Happiness is in the doing, not the done." Sometimes, the destination isn't the thing you remember, but the journey. Our destination was graduation. Our journey was high school. And the journey is all that matters.

SO, HOW 'BOUT SOME PICTURES?! (click to zoom)






My mom made me that garland. She told me that carnations represented victory in Vietnam, given to those who were considered heroes. She said "This is congratulations in advance for your PHd." HURR HURR x__x"

All joking aside, it was an amazing journey. Congratulations class of 2011. We fuckin' made it.
