The Buried Life 2

One thing I did not have on my list was make the front page of the newspaper. I never thought of it actually.. but it would be damn kool. Well on Friday May, 28 2010 I did. It was my graduation day and I was all dolled up in my cap and gown, praying to God the rain holds out. As I walk into my department building I see my best college friends. We all hug and take a picture. As soon as we take a picture we get approached my a photographer by the Staten Island Advance, asking us if we will take a picture. Of course we agreed and we took about ten pictures, 9 of them being classic lovely pictures, one being a funny picture. Well the next day I get an e-mail from my father that says front page of the advance which a link is attached as well. I open it up in my blackberry and there it is, front page, where everyone can see, the funny picture. Words cannot describe the embarrassment that came over me. I was mortified, completely mortified. My mouth is open wide as if I'm screaming yeah! My hair is frizzy from the rain that followed the ceremony. I look completly stupid. Again I repeat completely mortified. I call my friends who is in the picture with me, Dave and Diana. They love it. Diana thinks we look funny. Dave is embarrassed but doesn't care because he feels like a celebrity for a day. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ in heaven my crush is out of the country on vacation. As the day goes on, the texts messages and facebook comments begin. Everyone says it's not "that bad" which implies to me that they think it's bad but not as bad as I feel. Most people say I look happy and cute. I know I've said it, I look like an idiot but I made the front page of the newspaper. I do believe that not even the real buried life crew even did that.
One more thing to add on my list. One more thing to scratch off.

GRADUATION

This week I am graduating, well having the ceremony because I graduated in January. I see it as an excuse to get off work for a day. This is because I feel I am not the same Jenny I was 6 months ago. I say that very often I know, but mostly it’s because it's true. I should be changing as in growing up; you never want to stay the same forever. Since I walked out of CSI last I have been to Europe, filed for 401k, worked 50 hours a week every week, and bought a car. I'm a grown up.
However walking in the ceremony does give this sense of accomplishment, Kind of like wrapping that pretty pink bow around my college education. I miss college every day. I miss the sense of knowledge the campus felt like. I miss learning so many different things I never thought of before. I miss questioning my life and my path. I miss learning photography and taking the classes and even the smell of the darkroom. I miss my comm classes because they were so interesting and so fun. I miss partying on a Thurs. night. I miss looking forward to spring break or winter break and certainly summer. I miss picking out my classes for the next semester. I miss reading the college newspaper and walking around the buildings reading the signs people put up. I miss being the student who always raises her hand.

LEGGINS!!!!

LEGGINS: the greatest tool a woman could use to manipulate a man since the invention of a blow job!
Woman,
do take advantage of this because all is fair in love and war BUT please take my 23 years of wisdom into consideration... if one OVER wears them they become boring to a man... use them mostly "when your the gloves are coming off!"
