Graduating

I graduate in a week. Yep, 1 week.

I have decided to forgo all graduation events at Weber State next Friday. You see Weber is not the school I attended. I may have been a Weber student but I am an Aggie through and through. Also, purple robes. Really? Talk about a fashion mishap. I am really sad about missing out on the handing out of the fake diplomas... now that's something to travel down there to get. My family will be joining me for my small class graduation. It will be much more meaningful to me then joining my fellow students in the purple robe parade. I am struck with mixed feelings about graduating. I have worked my butt off for 4+ years, am only being awarded an associates degree and still haven't decided if I will ever get a job as a nurse. Being a mom and wife are much higher expectations for me than a capable nurse ever was. I have been blessed with a husband who sees things the same way and wants me to stay home with the children, well child for now. My family comes FAR before my career and I hope that financial situations will allow that to remain the goal. I will be taking my boards this summer (blowing $400 is a better way to put it) to officially become an RN. Am I vain to want the title? :) And if I feel so obliged I will maybe look for a part time nursing job in the Spring of next year. I am happy to be done with school though and am VERY proud of myself for completing the hardest 2 years of my life!

I did hear today that Pres. Monson is speaking at the ceremony... is this reason enough to gallivant down to Ogden?
