Why did she have pictures of my graduation to send me? Because Karl and I, despite our repeated promises to family, forgot to bring our camera to graduation! Fortunately, Dr. Reynolds had her camera and was kind enough to lend it to us for the afternoon and share the pictures. She's been trying to pass them to me since the end of May, but with moving and such it just didn't work out. So she generously mailed them to me.
Temple tuition dollars at work: large balloon displays.
My mom and I in front of the bust of Russell Conwell, Baptist minister and founder of Temple (formerly College) University. More balloons.
Resting comfortably and proud that no one can tell that I'm 5 months pregnant under my gown. Can I wear this thing to work tomorrow?
After 6 years, it's finally time to get my diploma now! They're going to read my name! I can't wait to get home and put my diploma in the expensive frame I bought at the bookstore!
What's this? No diploma? Despite the deceptive name "diploma ceremony," all they handed the graduates were empty diploma covers with a note that we could come to the office the following day to get them. My actual diploma ceremony occurred almost a week later. It consisted of me begging an old friend to let me in the office to get my diploma because whoever ran that office had left work early that day. A little anti-climatic perhaps, but I'll never forget it. To the right is the lovely Dr. Reynolds.
