Well, I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray a few months ago, and rather enjoyed it.

For my next selection, I chose to read Crime & Punishment by Dostoyevsky. It seems really interesting, but I’m at a point in the beginning where it’s really hard for me to get engaged in the story. The plot has yet to really take off, but I’m trying to stick with it.

January 12, 2007 I got my diploma in the mail. I didn’t feel like I’d really finished college until then. I ended with a GPA of 3.18, not too bad considering how I bombed photography class a few times.

Now, for the rest of my life.

December 9, 2006. That was the day of commencement. I’m so glad to finally be done, but I won’t feel like I’m really finished until I get my diploma in the mail.

Now. . .the real world.

The whole thing went by pretty fast, though. I guess my parents were more proud than I was. Graduating didn’t seem like that much of a deal to me. I had to realize that many people don’t get the opportunity, but everyone doesn’t have to go to college. It doesn’t guarantee success. For me, though, it was a necessary transitional period.
