Graduated Early

Sorry I didn't invite anyone, but my friends and I decided to graduate early. We also decided not to dress traditionally, by wearing crazy hats and jeans.

Okay, clearly that's a lie, but we did have a school celebration where we got to wear our robes and crazy hats. It's called Rally Day and they give awards to alumni who have done exceptional things since they left Smith. They gave awards to 5 alumni who graduated at various times from 1945 to 1980 and they were really interesting to listen to. There were two teachers, a congresswoman, the president of the American Chemical Society, and the last one, who Aunty Paula would have loved, was a doctor and a reverend, so there's hope for us all yet.

Anyway, it was really fun, but a little scary because I'm actually going to graduate soon. It gets a little more real everyday. eek.

Julie - I love the hat you have on! I think you should wear that to graduation in May. At least then, we will all be able to find you in the crowd!
