I graduated! Finally!

Happy Graduation to me!
I actually "Graduated" last August from William Mitchell College of Law, but had the choice of walking in the May 2011 or January 2012 ceremony.  I had almost forgotten about the whole ordeal, but Patric reminded me in November that I had to order my cap and gown and fill out the paperwork to walk.  Grandpa James and Grandma Theresa came up for the event, and James was almost a perfect angel for the whole ceremony.  (He may have projectile vomited all over Patric's pant leg while our Dean gave the closing address).  In the end, I was glad to participate in the ceremony - the cap and gown was WAY more interesting than my undergraduate attire, two of my professors "hooded" me during the ceremony, and Grandpa James and Grandma Theresa took us out for a McCormick & Schmick's seafood dinner afterwards.
