So, the graduation party was quite successful. It was delightful to see so many people that I haven't seen in a while. It was interesting though, that tonight really showed me how much I have grown as a person and become smarter; outside of what I learned in school, but really what I learned in college. I have really learned to carry myself better. I defend myself and my position when it is right. I will no longer accept that someone who has higher authority than me is right just because they think they are. I will speak my mind and make it heard when I feel it is important.

I also have begun to not put so much faith and my feelings into other people's hands. There were quite a few people who I really really would have liked to have attended this evening, but they were no-shows. But I can't let that upset me anymore. They didn't come, but I had a bevy of other friends and family in attendance. It was a fantastic evening, that wasn't spoiled by the absence of someone who I thought was important to me.

College works.
