@MladenPrajdic you the man! That's exactly what I needed to do. I knew I was being stupid.

I graduated!

Naa naa naa naa, naa naa naa naa, hey hey hey, good-bye!

Ahh, yesterday was an amazingly marvelous day! I graduated!

The ceremony started at 9:30am and was over by 11:00am. I have to hand it to the school for running a quick ceremony. They wisely split up graduation into several smaller ceremonies instead of just a giant single ceremony. The Arts and Sciences ceremony was at 9:30am. The Business Admin, Health and Human Services, and Technology ceremony was at 1:00pm. The Education and Human Development and Musical Arts ceremony was at 4:30pm.

There's limited seating so it was just the immediate family plus my girlfriend. So we ran though the ceremony very quickly and were back home prepping for the party. I didn't want to have a real fancy party. I told the family lets just have a little backyard BBQ picnic type of party. We grilled steaks and chicken breasts. My mother made potato salad, bean salad, etc. Plus we had a cake.

It was pretty stressful for mother I guess but then she always gets worked up over these things. The rest of us just relaxed and had a nice time. I did some socializing with everyone that came. You know the usual small talk type stuff. I talked over and over with everyone about what my plans for the future were. I must have said I didn't have a job yet but am going to start looking in another week or two once I've had a chance to unwind about 30 times yesterday.

My girlfriend was great and stayed the whole day there. I figured she wouldn't want to be around my family all day and only stop by for a while. I would totally understand it and not hold it against her. To my surprise she ended up staying to after everyone left. She's so amazing and such a trooper. Thank you so much sweetie!

So, yes I'm now done with school. Well at least for a while. I'll go find a job and once I'm settled in I think I'll go back to get my masters. We're talking like 2-3 years from now at the earliest and more like 5+ realistically.

I'm just very happy right now.
