Graduation!

It feels very strange to be graduated, I'm not so sure when it will hit me.  Probably when September rolls around and I don't have classes to sign up for (or when the loans start rolling in... yikes!).  

My graduation week was so memorable and such a blast.  My parents met Paul and me in NYC for the Society of Illustrator's Student Competition show and awards and some relaxing.  (By relaxing I mean walking about 10 miles and eating lots of food and drinking lots of drinks! ) Then my brother met us back in Baltimore and we did some more walking and eating and drinking and laughing... then I graduated! I couldn't have asked for a nicer send off from the academic world.  I'm feeling very grateful for all the wonderful experiences and all of the unconditional support throughout my time studying. I think I'll go have a nice little cry into my pillow now.  Just kidding, I'm not that sappy... but close to it!
