ruNothing quite says "Holy crap, graduation really is upon me" quite like going to the bookstore and getting your cap and gown. I did such a thing today, and I'm still kinda in a state of GLEE. Yes! Graduation is coming! I'll be getting my BS soon enough! <3 <3 <3 <3
I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that the color of the gown is not red, like I thought it was going to be, but black. I'm rather glad it's black, but it's also a little confusing. At my high school graduation, I wore my school color (maroon). I know at the college across the way, they wear light blue, and I know at the high school some of my friends attended, they wore white. My mother wore black when she graduated, but that was graduate school, and thus I kinda always assumed that you don't get to wear the awesome blackness unless you're getting a master's or higher. Still, I'm glad to be wearing black. It looks pretty nice.
On top of that, I qualified to get the gold Summa Cum Laude sash (hopefully nothing horrible will happen between now and graduation that will cause my GPA to drop), so I got that as well, and it all comes with a gold tassel (I think that signifies graduating with honors, but I'm not sure. They had a lot of different colored tassels at the pickup place, which I thought referred to what college you're coming from). So I'm going to be decked out all in gold and black. I think I'm gonna look pretty bitchin'. XD
