in a few weeks, i will be flying back to nashville to actually partake in the "real" graduation that Vanderbilt has every year. since the nursing school finishes in August, we have a pseudo-graduation, which they like to call the Pinning Ceremony. they cannot have a full blown graduation because Vanderbilt will not allow it. Vandy has a very unique commencement ceremony...outside on the lawn under the gorgeous, yet blazing hot, sun with graduates from all undergraduate and graduate programs at Vandy.
i was flipping through some of my pictures and i ran across this picture of me and my brother at his VU commencement ceremony and it made me think about how happy that time was in his life and in our family's life. i couldn't be prouder of my brother and of all that he has accomplished. i've never met someone with so much potential and so much upswing to his career.
along with commencement, i am looking forward to all of those familiar faces that i suffered with through the grueling program. it amazes me how much people bond in critical situation or in a crisis. it will be extremely interesting to hear about everyone's jobs and how life is post-vanderbilt.
and, of course, i get to be back in nashville.
go 'dores.
