Graduation

I graduated*** today. The big question is how do you feel?

Immediately after graduation I felt hungry, because I hadn't had breakfast or lunch. I think my point in telling you that is I'm still just as human as I was before I got my college diploma. College has been a changing process that didn't happen all on December 21st from 11 to 2, it happened over some of the best years of my life.

It's kind of like Snowden's secret in the novel Catch 22, I'm still human, but I'm gaining ripeness...

The answer to the question, how do i feel is free. I'm really excited about whatever is next and becoming even more seasoned in life.

oh yeah, here's a picture of me and my mom. My parents came down and we had a blast, dinner in Greenville, lunch in Clemson, dinner at Wendy's. They're cool (and super proud, I'd probably wait at least a month before you mention my name around them or you'll get more than you'd want to hear about Mike Soltys)

***the asterisks were next to my name in the program. they symbolize a level of academic achievement that only 3 asterisks can symbolize. I could also have gotten a white thing to wear around my neck for 50 dollars to show my achievement... but i decided to go snorkeling in the dry Tortuga's instead. achievement is overrated.

I'll be home for christmas!
