Graduations

Today I attended TWO UT graduations. I  spent the entire day doing things that involved graduation. Let me tell you about it. I'm sure you're dying to hear.

This morning I woke up, showered, and ate breakfast all before attending Sarah's Nursing School Graduation at noon. The ceremony was around an hour and a half, thank goodness. After that Sarah's parents treated us to a nice lunch at the Hyatt hotel. It was awesome. I had every intention of maintaining my diet UNTIL free lunch was involved. So naturally I ate a sandwich and fries. GAH.

Next was Sammie. My beloved roommate graduated from the Communications School. The ceremony was in the Frank Erwin Center. (SIDEBAR) Arturo, one of Sam's young life kids from Reagan, told Sam that his graduation was going to be at the Frank Urine Center. Now every time I say Frank Erwin I automatically think Frank Urine. LOLZ. (END SIDEBAR) Theresa and I showed up late, which was perfect. We were still there for more than two hours even after arriving 30 minutes late. Sammie wore a orange simile face on her cap, literally you could see her from the nosebleeds. It was great though because we knew exactly where she was at all times. Then we took pictures for about ten minutes before spending 30 MINUTES stuck inside the Trinity garage. Most awful experience of the summer so far. Trapped in a car garage FOREVER.

We showed up back at the house years later. The first thing we see is a giant poster of Sammie on our front fence. Best thing ever. Sammie's parents threw her a graduation party complete with decorations, cake, pizza and even their own chairs. Needless to say, they came prepared. Her dad was making drinks and her mom was telling Sammie stories. The free food got me again. Goodbye diet. Sammie had a BUNCH of family members come to the party. I had no idea that many lived near by. Most of my extended family lives up north, in fact none of them live in Texas. It is such a blessing to be near your family. That is something I will change about my future family situation.


So anyways quite a bit of Sammie's close friends showed up too. It was so great! Sammie is so loved. Andie (her sister) was telling me about how she wants the song "Here Comes the Sun" to play at her wedding when she walks down the isle. I definitely cannot think of a better song that describes her. She is a bright ball of sunshine. The song is perfect. She is perfect.

So tomorrow I will workout. I have two babysitting jobs but that is all. I plan to get a workout in between them. Hopefully everything works out that way. Lately it hasn't always gone to plan. I need to start making my workouts a priority if I want to actually see results.

I think it is safe to say I am done with college graduations until I graduate myself. Scary really. Hope your Saturday was just as fun, and if not then you can always attend the UT graduations that will be happening again tomorrow.

Good bye for now!
