I Gradumacated!!! Part I

[Dan points out my name in the ceremony program]

[Afterward, proudly holding my fake diploma; I will get the real one in the mail after I pay my library fines.]

As for the video footage of my walk across the stage to receive my diploma, all you will hear is a bit of clapping for my name having been called, and then the name of the girl behind me and the girl behind her announced. You can't quite see me either, but it happens! Just really fast. Dan was in the bathroom when they started, so he had to scramble when he got back because they were announcing the English department grads. Instead of going in alphabetical order as indicated by the ceremony program (see above photo), they read the names in the order we just so happened to be lined up in. My flabbergasted husband wasn't ready for me to be called third!
