I have this fear that because time ran out, I settled.  The very thought of it makes me feel anxious and slightly panicky.  I feel like I should wait.  So that I'd be sure that I made the right decision.  But how long is the wait going to be?   I need you to come along now.

I've got the graduation gown and mortar board from Siva and the sash from Amanda.  I've got my bow tie and blazer set.  The pants are being tailored by the aunt.  I am re-thinking the shoes after the blister-fest that's still going on.

While picking up the tickets for commencement last Thursday, it felt like matriculation in reverse.  I am getting really emotional thinking about it.  So I am not going to talk about it.
