Well, here it is- the big day. I have to report to the athletics center in about 20 minutes to get ready to line up for the procession into Killian Court for commencement.
If you're interested in watching Lulu, Kim and I graduate, you can watch the webcast online:

I was going to write some big reflective entry before today but seriously, it's all so overwhelming that I don't even know what to say. (Me, speechless. Let that sink in for a minute.)
All I know is that this morning, for the last time, I put my Brass Rat on facing up. In a couple of hours, I get to turn it around, and that's going to be awesome.
Maybe in a few days I'll have had enough time to process all of this, and write something deep and meaningful about it. Maybe.

By the way, why do you call it a diploma? Isn't what you are getting a full fledged Degree?
Wiki definition for degree and diploma
======================================
A college diploma is a degree received from a two-year institution of higher learning while a bachelors degree is a degree earned from a four-year institution of higher learning. The difference is not limited to the time spent at the institution but can also include the salary differences and the level of a job position.

A Parent: I always just used "diploma" as a word for the actual piece of paper. I never heard of the other definition...

Don't be a b*tch. She's graduating. Way to ruin the mood.

@ A Parent
I say "college diploma" and "bachelors degree" are interchangeable terms these days; at least colloquially...
