Getting Older?
Nah. Well. Technically yes. I can't believe my sister Colleen graduates from college this weekend.
It seems like only yesterday I was holding her under water at Gene's Quarry. Or nutmegging her with my soccer moves and running circles around her in the back yard. Or watching her put a snow suit on in the middle of the summer to rescue our dog who was trapped by his chain in a bees nest. We ha
But we both got older. I went on to college. She finished high school and then traversed into the college world. We both had our struggles with adjustment, who doesn't? It's normal. Now four years later, she's graduating with a degree in English. She still can't decide if she wants to continue with schooling on a graduate level or get started on her career. She still doesn't know what she wants to do for a career, but neither do I.
It's all happening Sunday. She's graduating from Lemoyne College in Syracuse and the next step for all of us is still yet to be determined. It will be exciting. My parents and my grandmother will be there along with my aunt Cathy and Margie. I'm sure we'll go out to eat a few times. I'm sure I can sneak a little Saturday night Laker action into the mix as well. I'm sure my dad won't stay awake, but I'll have to wake him if its close near the end.
Congrats Colleen! and good luck with whichever step you take next. I'll be watching! ¶ 5/14/2004 10:18:00 AM
