Graduation Day

Today I graduate with my MSE (masters of science engineering). I don't know whether it is right or wrong but I am feeling pretty proud of myself. Going to college has been the hardest thing I have ever done. It has taken me 7 years to get here, along the way I have gotten married, bought a house, been unable to sell said house and had a baby. During that time I have managed to keep an undergrad GPA of 3.94 (out of 4) and a graduate GPA of 7.14 (out of 9) at one of the top 5 engineering colleges in the United States. So forgive me if I ring my bell a little.

We had a BBQ last night and my friends from school brought me a UM hard hat that they had all signed with well wishes, they also got me a embossed leather UM folder, coffee cup and pencils to stock my new office. I was touched. We had a lot of fun and there was TONS of food. One of my friends is from Greece and her two sisters were visiting - on the Greek calender, yesterday was Good Friday so they brought us traditional Greek Easter yummies. Mmmmm....

Aaron's Dad and his wife and little boy are coming to visit today as well as my parents. This is good because we have soooo many leftovers so we are hoping they will come in time for lunch. I will walk in the College of Engineering graduation at 3pm where I think Maria and Maya will also be joining us. We will all retire back here for more yummy food (not leftovers!) afterwards.

There are big black clouds rolling over the sunrise - I think it is about to T-Storm.
