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.
