Welcome to Gaia! ::

I graduated from my community college yesterday. I now have two Associate's degrees: A.S. in Fire Technology (emphasis on Fire Prevention, with High Honors and Departmental Honors) and A.A. in Liberal Arts (with High Honors).

The graduation ceremony was hilarious, mostly because there was really [REALLY] no sense of direction from those who planned it. During the ceremony, no one was really paying attention to the speakers. In fact, I was texting my best friend (who was somewhere in the audience) almost the entire time, even though I sat in the front row. It's all good; I found the ceremony humorous in many ways, lol. However, my favorite part was the reception afterward.

My family went to a restaurant, and I invited my best friend and his girlfriend along. Once we were done, my family left, but me, my friend, and his GF stayed outside and talked for a solid 2 hours. It was then when they told me their news: they plan on getting married and having a kid (or two). Then my friend asked me to be his best man and to be their kid(s)' godfather [when the times come]. I immediately said yes. I am ecstatic, because I've never been asked to be part of a wedding or baptism (and I've been to countless of both). It's even better because it's from my best friend, who I've only known for a little less than 2 years.

I will be moving onto my university to pursue a B.A. in Speech Communication (emphasis on Organizational Communication) and double minor in Public Relations and Military Science. Although I'll be living in the dorms, I still plan on visiting my family during holidays and my best friend [and his GF] during down times quite frequently (and since bus rides are free for students; haha, score~).

All-in-all, one of the best outings I've had in a long time.

Thank you~ Oh it was, and it's one that I will never forget.

Oh jeez, I can't imagine. Well, depending on what the bride wants her bride's maids to wear... I shouldn't talk though, since groomsmen almost always wear tuxedos, which are pretty comfortable once you get used to them. And good luck on the reception planning. Just be glad you aren't in charge of planning the wedding; you would've gone insane, lol.
