Graduation

Last week was the last week of spring semester, which meant finals and then finally graduation on saturday. It was a pretty crazy week on its own, but then having everyone come out to celebrate graduation just made it that much more insane. Not only were Laura and I graduating, but also my cousin Leslie, so her family came out as well.

Friday was fun, the rugby team got some guys together and played a little bit of two hand touch rugby on a muddy field, which was fun because people were slipping and sliding all over the place. That night we had 20 people in our group that went to Sizzler for dinner. Having my family (Grandparents + parents + Scott), Laura's family (parents + Emily and Matthew), and Leslie's family (parents + Ben + Jody and Zach), there to celebrate with us was just awesome.

Saturday was graduation day and Friday night both Scott and Matt stayed at our apartment, so we had to drop Scott off at the hotel, because he wasn't going to the graduation, then we dropped off Matt at the Centrum so that he could go in with everyone else to watch. Laura and I went up by the scence building and got in line...well, we got in a mass, then into a line later. Walking down was pretty cool, there were a ton of people graduating and the only bummer was having to pass the gay pride parents... Anyway the commencement was great, a girl had a seizure and found out that it was a 3 inch tumor in her head. President Monson gave a good speech, we moved our tassles and that was it. Once it was over, Laura and I bolted for the door and waited for everyone to come out so we could take a couple pictures then run off to AppleBee's for lunch, which was again with 20 people. That afternoon was the convocation and that lasted an hour or so, maybe an hour and a half, i don't remember.

Saturday afternoon was pretty relaxed. After the convocation Laura and I went home to the apartment to change and when Mom and Dad Harmon came we opened some presents, including an awesome clock which we promptly put up in the office. That evening a bunch of us hung out at our apartment watching the NBA playoffs and eating a little bit of pizza. Laura, Mom, and I went to Artic Circle and then went to the hotel to hang out a little more with family, make fun of people on TV, and say our goodbyes because Laura and I weren't going to be getting up very early to see everyone off.

It was great to see my grandpa and talk with him a little bit because I haven't seen him in a while. He's 82 now and hopefully he has 20 years left in him. anyway that was our weekend, it was exciting, it was fun, and it was crazy all at once. Such is life.
