6:45 a.m.
My body thinks today is a great day for me to be in excruciating pain. Good timing, body. I guess I'm just going to have to drug myself through my graduation ceremony. Greeeat.
My family got here yesterday. And by "family" I mean "tribe." My dad and his three sisters, Thelma, Deedee, and Patty, got here around 2. We went out to lunch. The big dinner thing was at 6:30 and by 7:30 everyone had arrived. Poopah and his new wife Lorita. Phil's brother Greg and his significant other Kathy. Phil's parents Paton and Dorothy. Mom, Phil, and Elena the Shrieker. Grammy Joy and Grandpa Hale. Uncle Ford and my cousin Kayla. Phil's friend Lisa. Ann and Emily. And Sara, Jeff, and their four kids are all settled in their hotel but didn't make it to dinner. It was quite the event, I can tell you that. I had six grandparents at that dinner last night. Yeah, six.
They only give you two parking passes for graduation, so somehow we have to get 30 people onto campus using only two cars. We're having people park at an elementary school, and we're going to shuttle them up to campus using Phil's parents' van. If I don't kill Phil today, it will be a miracle, and it will only be because I will have killed Elena instead.
The ceremony is at nine. I feel like I feel on Christmas morning. You know, that weird sense of, "I've been waiting for today for soooo long! But now that it's 6:45 a.m. on today, I want to stop time and not let it go forward. Once this day happens, it won't come again."
I guess I should get some breakfast and wake my dad up. Not necessarily in that order.
Oh yeah, and I got a letter yesterday telling me I got college honors. Not the same as honors in the major, but still pretty damn cool, huh? I still get to say I graduated with honors!!
