Year of the Graduation: The Boo Edition

Seriously. Yours truly should receive some award for the number of graduations that she has attended and will attend before years end. With my brother's graduation already checked off my list, my younger sister's is in a couple of hours, in August I will attend my mom's graduation from the Masters Program at UAB and then, of course, my graduation from Vanderbilt School of Nursing. I guess I'm already burned out from all the speakers lecturing about "you can make a difference in this world" and "these will be friendships that will last a lifetime." Personally, I know the people from my nursing school class who I will stay close to because they are just incredible people; on the other hand, I also know those people who I will always wonder how they finished the program and how they managed to receive the same degree as me. But, then again, it's not always about me.

Back to the point, it is about those new graduates with smiles plastered to their faces because of the sense of accomplishment they feel and the sense of excitement they have for what lies ahead of them. The youngest Boo of the family is graduating from high school. Uh oh. Was that a crack in the Earth or did hell just freeze over?

I better go prepare my survival pack.
