Last update - Well, the waiting is over and so is the graduating. I was the MC for the graduation ceremony and it was great to be able to call each of their names as they walked across the stage and received their awards and their diplomas.
I actually had a dream last night about the ceremony. Everything was going well until the Commandant presented the first award. Usually after he presents the award, he speaks for a couple minutes about how high the standards are to even qualify for the award, let alone win it. In my dream, he came over and spoke from the podium and when he walked away, the rest of my script was gone. I dreamt that I spent FOREVER searching the podium for the next page of the script while everyone waited. HAHA! In reality, the Commandant likes to speak without the microphone, so he stands center stage and talks from there, so there was no reason to think I'd really lose my script during the real ceremony today, but when the chaplain, guest speaker, and student speakers used the podium, I took my script to my seat with me. No way I was going to risk losing it. HAHA!
