I'm Officially Intelligent, Finally

May 2011

Look! On the stage! It's me, miraculously not falling down. Even more miraculously, finally getting my degree.

So I am finally a college graduate - I ended up with Biology and a Chemistry minor. I am a HUGE hit at parties. I can put the whole room to sleep in about 11 minutes.

At least I can finally hold my head high in the Dyer clan. They have never made me feel badly about weakening the gene pool, but they are all such darn overachievers, I am afraid if I don't do something like cure cancer, I am always going to be lost in the background.

That is a lot of people. Sorry, family! Since I have been upgraded to 'D' from my previous 'W' I had the joy of walking within the first five minutes, and then spent the rest of my time trying to locate my family. It took a while, but eventually I realized I just need to find my Dad - bless his heart, he's so tall with white hair, it's like looking for a giant q-tip.

I found them right away.

Love you Dad!
Mom is so proud!

It was a great excuse to make my sister drive down and spend the weekend with us.

Someday we are going to live next door again - I can't wait.

Family! My mom ran out after I walked to stage to get my party together. Bless that woman, it was not easy. My last final was on Friday, and then I walked the stage Sat. This means I had not cleaned my house in several weeks, and I was basically no help whatsoever.

Lots of people came to celebrate with me, although I don't think I actually took pictures of anyone. So, in place of those:


Since I am so old and don't really need Things anymore, I asked for flowers if anyone wanted to bring me a graduation present. Check out this haul! It was very exciting.

I used them to surround the birdbath my mom got me - Love it. When it came in the mail I was so excited I ran outside to put it together, and this happened:



Oh well, here's my favorite - a double-bloom hydrangea. I have to add something to the soil to turn it blue.

Plants!

So, now I can truly enter adulthood and go get rejected from a lot of job applications. It should be a fun time.
