Sudden realization has struck; I'm going to graduate. I mean, it's not really a surprise, nor a realization really. There was never any doubt that I would graduate. It's just finally dawning on me, late as usual, that this is really happening. Last week we got caps and gowns. As I stood in line behind kids chattering about what they'd convinced their parents to order for them, I felt nothing less than thankful. Thankful that I have a home over my head. Thankful that my school provided me with the luxury of a cap, gown, and even a tassel. I was simply thankful for the day. I'm (trying to be) nothing but thankful nowadays, but things are still stressful. At home things have basically mellowed out. We kind of live in this weird silence, slinking around, trying to avoid each other. Here at school it's kind of the same, minus the avoidance of people. I'm on this weird steady pace, so I'm not really worried any more. I also start work soon. I've managed to get it set up where I get credit for working, which is cool, especially considering it means I'm guaranteed at least five hours a week. A paycheck is a paycheck, eh?
