my Faux graduation! :)

*crickets chirping*

ahem... hello out there :)

yeah, it's been a while cuz you know....


long long ago, in the month of May, I walked across that fateful stage at my school. technically, i'm currently taking my final class but they allow summer graduates to walk in the spring ceremony. thus my "faux" (fake) graduation!

ok, my ceremony was at 1pm. *sigh* first 90 degree day of the year. was soooo thrilled about that (not). ooo, but i did manage to score some super nice parking! praise the Lord!

whoo hoo!
I spy a Jen
who ever enjoys their ceremony, speeches and all? ok, i typically don't but this was one pretty good! interesting, funny and succint!

ooooo this is great. ok, so the professional photographers who charge you high dollar to buy their prints ushers you off into their green room and shoves a fake diploma holder in your hands right before you walk the stage to take one fake pic of you with different backgrounds. now, i am a chronic blinker-while-one-takes-my-picture. this is proof. also, check out that tassel.

OKAY, they TOTALLY could've photoshopped me some eyes but that's fine. I wasn't planning to buy their $$$$ pics anyway.

I do like the one real stage pic they took of me shaking that dean's hand. I always thought he was adorable.


 then, yayyyyyy, it's done!

Happy graduation!

I think the "professional" photog should have realized that your tassel was in your mouth and taken the time to move it!
