With a lump in my throat and the terrifying sensation that a bee was on my neck I shook President Osgood's hand. Turn right, down 4 steps, smile, flip over string thing on bizarre middle-ages inspired hat and return to seat.
So now you know what I did to "graduate" from Grinnell College last Monday. Obviously I did a lot more in the past 4 years, and I'm shocked that I didn't bawl on my final drive out of the tiny Iowan town. But, I did my fair share of crying and goodbye-ing in the days after graduation after my family had gone home. By Friday, I felt it was time to leave.
Funny thing though. I spent 2 days packing and jamming the CRV to the roof with my dresser, bed, microwave, kitchen stuff, clothes etc. That thing was stuffed. I mean me laying on my back kicking things under the dresser stuffed. I'm sure you can imagine my feeling of victory when I got it all in by myself and was ready to hit the road to Chicago. Then picture the horror in my eyes when I realized that I had packed so well that I had also packed the keys to the car....
I made it home eventually though.
I start my new job on Tuesday at the Wright Institute. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing, but I have some new dress shirts so bring on the world!
