I figure it is time to stop looking at that lemon meringue pie — it’s not as if we savoured it as long as my blog would so onto bigger and better things.
Like graduating university. WOOT. See Auntie Carolene? It happened.
Convocation was a bit anticlimactic as we had been marinating in the fact that we already graduated but whatever, pomp and circumstance is important and I am glad that I participated. Triply glad that Mom, Dad, and Jayme came for the day.
Here are some highlights:
PLEASE don’t judge my flip flops! I have a broken toe and couldn’t fit any shoes on my feet.

Not taking this serious thing seriously…Carly- well behaved, Kate- having too much fun, Aisa- bored…very indicative of our teaching degree experience.

Bree, Linds, Carly and I with our favourite professor (taught philosophy). He was so glad we finished and are outta his face (and not watching his curling matches anymore).
Oh… it wasn’t all a delightful day of successes…

Oh, well. First year as a somewhat real fan…proudly not a bandwagon one…a little disappointing that this special day will be memorable for painful reasons.
Anyway…. thanks to all the fantastic people in my life who have supported me and shown me the love over the last 7 years…and those who came out to celebrate, especially under the circumstances:
I am sooo glad this chapter is closed for the time being. Kate Stam = no longer university student. Feels awe-some.

Awesome duck face. I hope you practiced that! Congrats and welcome to the real world. Well semi-real… YOu still get student discounts and every summer off! Just remember to keep it real and beware of overbearing senses of entitlement (you’ll have to personally ask me to explain that one).

Oh, sounds like a good conversation to have during a Kary episode? Is it really time for me to come back already? 😉 Seriously though… I’m intrigued.
