And The Beat Goes On

This weekend is graduation weekend, but I keep sort of forgetting it. I'm not graduating, and since I am the center of my universe, what's it to me?

I worked today (almost 90 minutes longer than expected, as it turned out, thanks to a security system hickup...since I was the closer, I couldn't just leave until it was resolved). I will work tomorrow...then leave straightaway for my parents' house and a late dinner there. It's Mother's Day, after all. Gotsta see Mother.

Not doing anything graduation-related with anyone else, either. The Dental College doesn't have commencement for another month, and to be honest I try to avoid downtown when there are a lot of extra people (i.e., everyone and their parents/grandparents/siblings/dogs*) around.

Whenever I do graduate, I'd like to skip the ceremony. It sounds like a lot of hassle to me. You sit around for hours while everyone gets their name called (they do call individual names here), and it will be fairly anti-climactic, I'm sure. The ceremony is really for the parents, and I'm going to try to eliminate my parents' interest in it...I'm in my thirties, they should be over it. Not like they've footed the bill. Plus you have to find a parking space, and who can be bothered?

So basically, to sum up, it's Mother's Day weekend. Yay, mothers! Especially mine. (I'll refer you to the second sentence of my opening paragraph.)

* Some lady came in, asking for a "graduation gift for a dog" the other day, so naturally I asked if the dog was graduating from obedience school. Nope. The dog's master is graduating from college. So the dog needs a graduation gift. Huh?
