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.
