This is my last post as a person who has not graduated from college....EVER.

Also.
I have an ipod, and my friend at work gave me a dancing owl that is dressed in a graduation cap and gown.
He starts his dance by walking to the Pomp and Circumstance, and then in the middle of the march the music changes and he breaks it down to the Funky chicken.

I wanna do that when I graduate.

FINALLY!
I am joining the cool kids club.
I have just ordered my very first ipod. I have had a creative micro zen for a long time and it keeps busting on me...and the whole time I look at it like it's just not as good as the real thing.
Well, now...I will be getting a brand spanking new ipod with "Edna’s music box" engraved on the back.
I will download TV shows, audio books, and subscribe to pod casts, I will get to finally be in the know when it comes to new music and bands, I will get "updates" and cd covers shown to me when the song plays, I will understand what a play list is and how to manage one, I can join the running group "welcome back trotters" and actually trot along, I can dj for dance dance party party and bring my own music, I can smile and know that after years of yearning I have finally done it...I'm an apple ipod owner.
Sweet.
I hope it gets here soon, so I can jerk around in the shadows while wearing colorful clothing.

I graduate next week and I can hardly wait. It's all I can talk about.
I think my friends are happy it's happening because they are proud of me AND they don't have to hear about it anymore!
Part of me thinks that I am making it a much bigger deal than it really is, I mean a bajillion people graduate every year. Right?
I just think it's cool to celebrate finishing school...although I really wish they had a graduation mascot like the easter bunny, of the tooth fairy...but instead it would be an owl named Smarty Pants (he would undoubtedly be wearing pants) and his catch phrase would be "You graduated! Who gives a hoot?" Then he gives you a high five and says "save yourself from becoming endangered like me and go to grad school".

I don't know I just think it would be so much cooler to have a gigantic owl talk at graduation. I think when I am sitting there listening to the guy they picked to talk to all of us about our accomplishments, I'm going to imagine him in an owl costume flapping around.
