GRADUATED!!!!

I have finally done it. I'm now a college graduate and I'm feeling pretty good. Friday, Missouri was hit by several bad storms and my school was smack dab in the middle of all of it. Around noon we lost electricity and everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. School was cancelled along with graduation practice. No one knew what was going to happen and we were all pretty much clueless. Around 7 that night I was sent several text messages from everyone saying that graduation was back on.
On May 9, 2009, I woke up ready to graduate. When I arrived at school I was told that we were not having pictures taken and everyone was going crazy about where everyone should be. Instead of being divided by degrees, we were all put together by categories. We stood for an hour with no A/C and about 75 people in one little hallway.
Finally it was time for us to walk, Yay, We made it to the gym floor and we were introduced by our President. Then he informed us that our guest speaker, Missouri Governor Nixon, couldn't make it due to damage throughout Missouri. I was so happy because that made graduation so much faster. I received my diploma holder and now I have to take finals. That's right I graduate and then take finals. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
