After everything at the school we headed to a seafood restaurant for lunch. Unfortunately the food was terrible and kinda made me sick after. But it was a really nice day and I was super happy to be able to celebrate with Erin and her family.

Pomp & Circumstance...
Today Erin graduated from college, so I spent the entire day with her and her family watching her graduation ceremony and celebrating. It was an outdoor ceremony on what couldn't have been a better day (I have a sunburn to prove how nice it was). We listened to Chuck Schumer give the same speech he gave at mine & Phil's undergraduate ceremonies, as well as a handful of other speeches (Some that took forever and a year). We also attempted to attend her departmental ceremony but we kinda took too long to get there.

365 Days Of Pictures: Day 64...
Obviously I didn't take this picture, but I don't care. This is the picture of the day!
Pomp & Circumstance...
After spending two and a half years working on my Masters of Library & Information Science I finally got to walk in graduation -- Yeah, I know it's weird that my university decided to hold commencement on a Friday.
Graduation started at 11:30am this morning and ended around 3:00pm -- This was the academic procession, conferring of degrees, recessional and the recognition reception, plus a random break between the recessional and recognition reception where the MLIS graduates were wandering around because we were told to do a million different things and everyone was confused.
To be honest with everyone, this was the least organized event of it's kinda that I've ever been to. In addition to being unorganized, it was just odd -- We had no speaker, everything seemed to take forever and once the recognition reception rolled around everything became really informal. The highlight of the whole ceremony was the fact that Idina Menzal sang -- I love her, so I got a kick out of this.

All in all, it was a really good day.

Mini Rant: Graduation...
I swear "Julia" is one of the nosiest and stupidest people that I have ever met. I am sitting at my desk talking with "Amy" about my upcoming graduation ceremony and "Julia" decides to chime in -- No one was talking to her. She starts stuttering, asking when it is and talking about when she graduated a million years ago like I care. It says in big letter on our weekly schedule that I'm graduating on Friday, she has had this schedule since the beginning of last week. Stupid bitch.
