My preschool graduation. That will be me all over again on April 29:
I was sad to leave my school and my favorite teacher. I am feeling the same way now and don’t know what to do with myself.
Here are some happier pics from preschool graduation – too cute not to post:
Well the day has finally come (almost). I am graduating on Sunday! I took some pictures of all my graduation regalia (it started with taking a picture of the Psi Chi stuff for the blog) but then I decided to take a picture of it all my pretty colors. I don’t have any idea how I am going to wear it all…. and play the trombone too.
Pictures of all my regalia (and other stuff):
It started with taking a picture of the Psi Chi stuff for the blog to show other graduates what they could wear. Then there is my honor cords for graduating with a 3.5 GPA or higher (I have a 3.8!) — one cord per degree. I had no idea I would receive one for each — seems like overkill, ha. Then my Sigma Tau Delta stuff. After that is Golden Key — the first honor society that asked me to join and made me aware that I was in the top 15% of students at my university. I had to get shots of my pretty medallions (I am a sucker for those – I am going to wear my Sigma Tau Delta medallion while writing from now on). Then I put everything together to see if it would work. Truth to tell I am a little embarrassed and I don’t know how I am going to wear it all. And after all that are pictures of my graduation tickets and announcements, etc….too pretty not to take pictures of:
The opening of Whitman’s “Song of Myself”
“I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good
belongs to you.”
So much to do so little time. I have the Sigma Tau Delta Induction coming up. I have the Psi Chi Induction to plan…plus about 7 papers and projects to work on before the semester is done next week (Monday!!!), not to mention poetry to write, and 3 exams to study for (and a party! gah!)…agh!! I need a break. I can’t wait until the semester is over. I can’t wait to go to Mackinac. And maybe on a few other adventures once school is done.
I have to write a paper for Health Psychology so I have been studying mindfulness and meditation – well I have been trying to anyway – but what I learned so far has helped me and made me realize I need to study this stuff for real. I have lost touch with my calmer, go with the flow side. I need to get back in touch with that and beyond….because there will always be too many things to do in not enough hours.
So most have heard, “All the world’s a stage/And all the men and women merely players” from Shakespeare’s As You Like It. But a few years later Shakespeare, in Macbeth, wrote this: “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/And then is heard no more./It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/Signifying nothing.”
Wow! Love it… but what the hell Shakespeare? What the hell was going on with you when you wrote Macbeth? Methinks thou wast suffering from melancholy madness.
