Beginning and End

My two roommates are at totally opposite stages of their university careers, as I sit in the middle looking both ways. Emily just received official notification that she has graduated with her B.A. in Geography and is having her degree mailed to her. She says she isn't going to attend her convocation but I hope she changes her mind since it truly is a monumental event that should be celebrated. She is done her undergrad and should be proud. On the same day, Jerrica got into Carleton. I'm so proud of her and she is so very excited, pouring over the admissions and registrations info that was sent. Such a fresh faced start to it all as she heads off to university for the first time in September. My best wishes and love to both of them.
