Tomorrow, I’m leaving for the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival with Laura and Lennis! I’m so excited 
This will be my first time going and it’s doubly exciting because it’s my reward to myself to graduating college!
Which…hasn’t exactly happened yet. Here’s the rundown:
- Advanced Business Writing – done! I got an A!
- Intro to Sociology – done! Took the final exam yesterday and I think I did really well.
- Information Systems – done! Took the final exam today and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I think I’ll probably get a B in this class (which is sad, considering I have an associate’s in info systems…meh, it’s a long story).
- Intro to Shakespeare – ok, so our brilliant instructor decided to give us 13 weeks of assignments instead of 12, due to the fact that we don’t have a final exam. Fair enough. But I’ve got to write a research/analysis essay that’s due this Sunday
and then I have another paper that’s due on May 7. Originally they were both due this weekend, but mercifully, he extended the due date for the second paper. Yeah, I’ve got a paper due the night I come back from Maryland. But I’m going to work on it today and then finish it up Sunday night before turning it in. I freaked out about it at first, but now that I’ve got the other three classes behind me, I’m confident I can get it done.
I am graduating this month, people! Finally getting my degree! I’m so happy. 
I won’t be attending commencement since my funds are going toward MDS&W instead (even though, coincidentally, my college is located in Maryland), but I’m ok with it. I don’t need the whole cap and gown experience–I had that at community college and it’s just not really important to me. It’s more important to be finished and finally have that stinking piece of paper!
Anyway, back to MDS&W–I’ll be there all day Saturday and then at the Fibercrawl After Party. At the festival, I’ll likely be wearing my Ravelry disagree (1) shirt as well as a Ravelry “hello, my name is sassenach” button. So if you see me and recognize me, please say hello!
I’ll be there on Sunday and wearing my Greenberry Ravelry button. Sorry that I will miss you, though; have to keep the shop on Saturday!
Congrats on graduation!
I didn’t do commencement either; I had no family in the area, and it was more fun for me to go visit all of them (in their houses) instead of trying to cram 10+ people into my little 2 bedroom apartmetn
Proud of you! You worked so hard for that degree.
