Well, it's finally come. The main graduation for Rutgers was today, but the one for my specific school is tomorrow... woo! I'm not all that excited about the ceremony itself; likely it'll be long and boring. But for what it symbolizes-- the end to my college years-- I'm really excited!
The weather is predicted to be 84 and partly cloudy. The graduation will be outside in a big, pretty grassy area of campus, and hopefully it won't get too hot sitting out there. I'll remember the sunscreen, though most of me will be covered by the silly cap and gown anyway.
My mom is coming, which will be nice. It'll just be her, but I don't particularly mind that the rest of my family is skipping out; I wouldn't subject them to sitting through the ceremony, lol! And it means that afterwards, my mom and I can go out for a nice lunch on our own. I'm going to take her to the Sculpture Garden (yeah, expect more photos of that, haha!) and we'll eat at the fancy Rats restaurant there. (Sassy, I'll get photos of the food to prove that it isn't made of rodents, lol.) It should be a really nice time, and hopefully a tasty meal!
Now, I should get back to cleaning... my mom is driving down and staying overnight tonight, so I should have this place looking better to avoid getting "tsk tsks"... ;)
