I graduated...

The 3 dots after the title of this post is the whole point of the post. As I told family, friends, random people when the topic arose that I was graduating; I would receive the great bout of enthusiasm. The "Wow, that's amazing!" "Congratulations!" "That's quite an accomplishment!" started pouring in, and became more and more often the closer my graduation approached. The odd thing is, I honestly did not feel like I was graduating. As many times as I said it, when I purchased my cap and gown, when I called and made arrangements for friends and family to attend, it just never hit me that I was graduating college. Even when I woke up the morning of my graduation all the way through the ceremony, it felt like just another day;oh and I happen to be graduating. It's so odd how once you get older things change so drastically. I remember daydreaming of the day I would graduate college and get a job and its come and gone already and I cannot believe it. It's very surreal. Like those movies when people are in a situation but to them its like a dream they are just coasting right through without really acknowledging it. I wonder how many other people feel the way I did?

Hi Ann Marie,

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on the Marriage Monday topic that I wrote on.

It is a sad position to be in, divorce. I have not been but I've seen the effects of permanent break up in relationships - it is many, many times worse than breaking up with a boyfriend (that was always difficult enough to do.)!

There was love there at one time and with neglect their relationship became cold. This brings me to the conclusion that if we have the chance to persuade someone not marry when there is a chance that thier marriage will end up in divorce, we should. That would save so much heartache, not only for the now miserable couple but also for the children which usually have no say either way.

I plan to visit your site after I get caught up with blogging comments.

Hello Ann-Marie,

I saw your comment at Paul Burgin's Mars Hill blog and thought I would pay a visit. I'm uninvited, I know, but I will be quiet. Well, you ask for people to say "Wish me luck", so I will; all the best for your post graduate career! If you have a box in the corner of your room, feel free to keep the luck there as I'm sure your skills and learning will mean that you won't have to use much of it at any one time.

Anyway, I am rabbiting on. All the best again with being a post grad and your blog.

Malcolm
