Another School Year Gone

So yesterday was pretty awesome!
As you have probably realized, I have not been on much lately. I have been finishing up this semester of school and also started work again last week. But I am on now to update about the great day everyone had yesterday.
It was commencement for UAS. We started off the day with a brunch fro Kari and Robert at Lisa's house. The food was great and the company was even better. It was nice meeting Robert and Kari's family. Meeting peoples loved ones always give you a glimpse into their lives. After the brunch we parked at campus and took shuttle buses over to the recreation center for the graduation.
All the graduates and professors donned the typical robes. The music was good, the speakers were good. Overall, it was much less painful then last year. The only thing I would say is that only about 20 min of the 2 hr ceremony had anything to do with the graduates. The rest was about outstanding community members that no one really cares about. I mean, seriously...Some parents traveled from far distances and paid a lot of money to get here to see their kids graduates. All they got was about 20 min. And that's all I have to say about it...
After the graduation, everyone went home and crashed. Quick naps gave us all a boost of energy for the bonfire last night. It was a great time, as many of us friends gathered around a bonfire on the beach and watched whales and porpoises feeding in the distance. Overall, it turned out to be a great evening and we left early enough for me to get plenty of sleep before having to be up for work today.
Right now, the sun is shining and I only have to work a half day. Pretty sure I can't complain about anything at the moment!
