Today Was The Day (Day 166/167)

I've fallen off the bandwagon a bit here in the past few days. It's because I've been driving all over the US. Friday started my journey to Searcy where I spent my last day as a college student. It was just what I needed to say goodbye. My trip with friends before was too hectic and there wasn't any time to be by myself. This time I was able to go off and do what I wanted. I went a picked up my cap and gown and then spent a few hours relaxing on my favorite couch of all time; the one that sits in Midnight Oil. There I sipped on a chai latte, chewed on a chocolate chip scone, and put the finishing touches on Alex and Dylan's wedding invitations. It was the exact way I wanted to say goodbye to my home of four years. Then I was reunited with Alex for about an hour and we talked like we had never left each other. Friday ended with a trip down to Scott, Ar for some Cotham's burgers and onion rings. If you're ever in Little Rock go ahead and put Hwy 161 and Cotham Rd into your GPS and head on over to Cotham's Mercantile. I promise you you won't regret it.

Today was the day. My day. Well technically quite a few peoples' day. I've waited four years for this and now I can officially say I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. I was the only BFA walking today and it made me feel pretty special. I'm proud of myself and I'm not ashamed to say it. I completed 139 hours, I turned a five year degree into a four, and I graduated with a GPA higher than a 3.0. I can't believe it's over. There were so many time I wanted to give up but for some reason I kept going. There are so many time I should of failed but because of the grace of God I succeeded. And now I have that diploma in my grasp. I can't wait to see the rest of my life play out now. I know God has some pretty amazing events set up for me. Now I need to just try to stay on the path He has planned for me.

Now I'm in Clinton, Ok staying the night, on my way to Colorado. But of course we stopped in OKC for Hideaway Pizza. I can't wait to spend two weeks in Crested Butte.
