Graduation!!!!!!

Yesterday I was able to graduate from College of the Sequoias with my Associates of Arts degree in American Sign Language. When I came back from Virginia I wasn't planning on walking or doing anything to celebrate my graduating except for moving away as soon as possible, but a friend of mine, and my mother talked me into walking. My friend because he was "supposed" to be graduating as well, and my mom because I didn't walk for high school and she wanted to see me walk at least once for graduation... So I did. As time got closer I got a little excited about walking... maybe a little to much so because it game me and excuse to go out and buy a new dress... or two. In the long run, I thought it was actually really boring, probably because most of the ceremony didn't concern me at all, only about the 2 seconds that it took for me to walk up and get my diploma cover did it concern me, and for the rest of it I really wasn't interested. But I did it!! I am now a college graduate, and now it is time for the next step in my life... Lets all hope I can figure that out soon.




My mom was trying to take another picture of us together while my sister was taking a picture of me with my parents so we got this of me and my dad, I thought it was pretty cool.


A picture of just me after the ceremony.
This was before I left.
And of course the classic picture of me walking to get get my diploma cover. I don't get my diploma till August so I guess they could still change their mind about me being able to graduate or not.

The Bigger Piece

We all know that I like baking, I even bought myself an apron from Disneyland while I was there last month so that I could maybe prevent my clothes from being as messy from the bowls by the time I am done in the kitchen, and so far it is working great. Today being Mothers Day I was put in charge of making dessert of my mom of her choosing, and she picked Lemon bars. I have a dessert book that my parents got me for Christmas that I pulled out so I could try the recipe it has instead of having to look through all of our recipes to find the one I usually use. The recipe I used was a double lemon bar, which means there was twice as much lemon feeling then usual. When it was out of the oven and cooled down quite a bit I went in and cut out three pieces, one for my Mom, one for my Dad, and one for me. When handing them out I made sure I got the bigger piece, yes I know with it being Mothers day I should have given it to my Mother but I was being selfish. Well I was taught a lesson while I was eating my piece, it was really good, absolutely amazing actually, but it was really rich, which made finishing it extremely hard to do, which yes I know is amazing considering its me and I can eat a lot of sweets in one go. It just goes to show that when I am being selfish like I was today it ends up being hard to do what I am good at... eating something sweet.
