GRADUATION!!!

 Happy to be done!

After 5 years and lots and lots of hard work I graduated from the University of Utah! Wahoo! My family came up for the weekend from St. George. It was a lot of fun to spend some time with my family. I was so excited to finally be done with school and I had a weekend full of fun! It all started with the actual graduation. The graduation ceremony was a little strange... First of all the speaker was a fellow graduating student and his talk was crazy. He basically talked about how the politicians in Utah don't value education enough. He called them all rodeo clowns, and told them he couldn't wait until some of us replaced them because we would do a much better job. Whether is It was correct or not, it was a very disrespectful talk. After his talk the bachelors walked, and despite being asked to stay seated after they walked 90% of them walked out. I stayed seated for a while while the Master degrees walked, but by that time I was basically sitting alone because all the bachelor degrees had left so I found my family and we left before it was over. It was a weird graduation ceremony but there were a lot of people who came to support me and I want to tell them all thank you for coming and for all of your support! Here are the pictures of Graduation.

There were many graduation celebrations. Dinner with my in-laws the day before, dinner with my family before graduation, desserts at Applebees after graduation, and the Ice Cream Party I had on Saturday. It was a weekend full of celebrating. The ice cream party was also a lot of fun. I had a lot of people show up to that I want to to tell them all thanks for coming and supporting me. Over all it was a great weekend and I am officially Graduated from the University of Utah with a BS degree in Social and Behavioral Science and a minor in Nutrition. It is way nice to be done. A huge relief. I think I've felt every emotion in connection to graduating. I am kind of sad because I am going to miss the U and I love school. I am happy and relieved to be all done. And I am way scared and confused about what the future holds as far as my career goes. There is an internship in Pennsylvania, but I'm not sure if it's going to work out for me, I guess I'll have to wait and see. As for right now, I am enjoying the relief of being done. Here are some more picture of the graduation.

 So HAPPY to be done!
