Gradidation Pitchers

[livejournal.com profile] corzican has posted a few pics of the graduation. Unfortunately, his camera didn't seem to be able to deal with the dark auditorium with stage lights, so every one of those turn out blurred. Also, mom forgot to include the memory card in her camera, which is required for still pictures. I think she might have gotten some video, but I haven't verified it with her yet. I know of at least one picture that exists of me from the balcony taken by [livejournal.com profile] flemco, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll bug him about it tomorrow night.

I'm happy for what ever pictures were taken. I know I'll be contacted by the professional photographer about the official pic of me shaking hands with the Dictator Director of the program, which I'll buy some copies of for family and such.

I had such a wonderful day. I also made sure to give proper attention to my professor when he came in to the BBQ and to my mom and grandmother as it was still Mother's Day, and I could totally put the blame of my existence onto both of them. My dad was running around making sure all of the food was out and the shrimp peeled and the margaritas and daiquiris (man that's such a hard drink to spell) made. My uncle kept shooing me out of the kitchen as my natural Lead Hostess role kept creeping into my brain.

Food! OMG so much food and it was so good and tasty. I had bought a peach cobbler and a banana pudding that never even got set out because people were already so full by the time it would have been dessert time, and yet there was still plenty of food out on the picnic table.

It really was a great day and I wouldn't have changed it for the world.

Oh yeah, and I didn't trip walking across the stage!

Speaking of which, when is your ceremony day?

It's May 31st, not sure what exactly is going on, if I'm walking or just getting hooded or both or any combination of uncomfortable hat and gown business :)

All three of our PhD candidates had the dubious pleasure of sitting on the stage (which I know from band experience gets really hot from the lights) instead of in the audience.

Grats again babe!

Thank you so much! I think I'm now in decompression mode this week. *whew*
