Well, today is my last day of classes at BJU. Next week is exams and next Saturday is commencement.
I can’t say I’m not looking forward to being done. I did comment to Melanie that I don’t know what I might do with myself if I’m not in school next year.
A side note: four in my immediate family are graduating this year: my brother (high school), my sister (B.A.), me (M.Ed.) and my dad (Ed.D.). We’re planning a big post-commencement party for next Saturday.
One of our other family “traditions” is to go on a vacation when someone graduates. For example, when my dad got his master’s in ’88, we traveled out to Wyoming and Montana that summer. When I finished high school, we went to Boston for the 4th of July. This year, we have only 2 weeks to do a vacation, but we’re going to repeat the ’88 trip in part. Anthony wasn’t even born then. We’ll be leaving May 25 or 26 and be gone for 2 weeks. Of course, we’ll try to keep the blog updated with pictures and stories.
I know, IT is terrible all the things that you miss before you are born. If only if I had been born earlier, I wouldn’t have missed the first 4000 years of history.
