Hooded!

Hey, I graduated today! I walked in the U's commencement ceremony, complete with gown and cap and hood (blue for PhD). I still need to finish the diss and defend, but I've been in an excellent mood all day. I sang a silly little song to myself while I biked around: "I gradu-ated from coll-ege!" I walked and sat with friends from my diss support group, both of whom have been working for so long and I'm so proud that they're finished. My friends in the audience shouted 'quackery' and clapped and hooted for me, and my advisor said "we'll get this done." I had ice cream with my friends and biked home and ate a mango and listened to Happy Secret.

And what am I doing this evening? Going roller skating!

What an amazing day.
