The Center for American Indian Health put together a nice brunch for me and another student.

It was a long 2.5hr ceremony (just for the public health school too!). I did not go to the University wide commencement.
Hooray - I graduated! My little sister Emmalani took the day off work to be there.
Public health is a real passion of mine. It'll be fun to see how I incorporate it into my future career.

Yay for you! Graduating YET AGAIN!
"It has been a long journey, and while I loved all my classes and had such great mentors, I am glad to be done!"
Graduation's often mixed up like that. There were some in absolute tears at my graduation, distraught at the idea of no longer being at university, while there were others who were heartily sick of the entire thing and couldn't wait to be out. Me, I fell somewhere in the middle, although I was leaning towards the "heartily sick" camp. I'd had enough of lecturers, of deadlines, of exams and I'd definitely had enough of being accused of being a "lazy student".
Then, of course, I was pitched head-first into the graduate jobs market and a whole new set of challenges opened up. It was ok though, it was just a case of perseverance. And the way I saw it was that if I'd survived until the end of university, I already knew how to persevere.
