Graduation Day!!

Well, after 4 long years, I finally graduated from law school on Saturday! After months of thinking that the big day was never going to come, I got to put on that shapeless gown and floppy hat and walk across the stage and become a Juris Doctor. 
I am happy to report that I did not trip, faint, or do anything else that would be also been terribly embarassing. However, I did appear up on the jumbo-tron THREE TIMES!!! That is terribly embarassing. At least I wasn't yawning or picking my nose or anything....

I did manage to avoid an embarassing moment, but just barely. Before the ceremony, we all had to go into a meeting room at the place and line up. I took my cell phone with me so I could take some pics before we actually graduated. Since my dress or gown didn't have pockets, I just put the phone down the front of my dress and figured all would be fine. And it was.....until I got up to walk across the stage in front of everyone and their brother to graduate. Then the phone slowly started to slip down the front of my dress. I managed to keep it near my stomach by just pushing my stomach out but wow, that was stressful. I just imagined a pink phone falling out the bottom of my gown as I walked across to shake hands with the Dean and then having to bend down to pick it up. SOOOO glad that didn't happen!

 

Finally!!


We ate dinner with my family after graduation at Chez Nora in Covington. (this is my favorite place and if you have never been there, you should check it out!) Everything was delicious and we definitely celebrated just like the Dean told us we should!

I am so happy that I have completed this stage in my life. It was been an incredibly long and hard 4 years and I am so thankful for everyone who has helped me through it. Now, if everyone will just keep putting up with me for the next 3 months as I study for the bar, it will all be over soon and I will be a lawyer!!
