Graduation

So I walked across the big stage yesterday, (again) and "received" my diploma. What I actually received was a red folder with a letter in it and that graduation song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

I know a lot of people participate on commencement for their parents' sake. Me, I appreciate the closure... the feelings of accomplishment I get. It's like all year long I've been so wrapped up in work and internships that I forget the whole point.

So, now that I've finished the most difficult school program in my life, I now have a M.A.T. degree. M.A.T. means I spent a year of my life working my butt off and 12,000 dollars to become a teacher. Yup. Go me.
