So my classes have been finished up a little earlier than I planned due to mother nature's influence, but today it finally hit me that graduation's here.

Today I went to pick up my cap and gown in the very place that I picked up my first set of textbooks four years ago. A sense of closure hit me more from this one act than any email from the University could. I felt a little in a daze as I walked back out to my car past my fellow students, all of whom were oblivious to the shock I was in.

Or maybe they weren't so oblivious, and just in the same amount of shock I was.

I came home and just sat there for a while. For the past few weeks I've been restless and bored. After a busy semester of full-time school and full-time work, the absence of classes and homework's brought about the feeling that I'm constantly forgetting something and that I have way too much free time.

For the past few years, I've felt this way at the end of every spring semester, but today it hit me that I'll never experience this feeling ever again. This feeling of boredom will fade as I gradually adjust to being a full-time adult, or at least I hope it will.

I still can't bring myself to hang up the gown.
