I'm glad to hear you're on track for graduation and survived the post-commencement lunch. I know you've had a few false starts on the academic front, and a few health issues, that have delayed you from your goal. So, congratulations!

Personally, I skipped commencement. All of my relatives and most of my friends who'd said they wanted to attend ended up having already scheduled something else that weekend, long ahead of time: a cruise, a trip to Arizona, out-of-town conventions, and a dive trip. So I decided to go with the flow and take a vacation, too. I'd already scheduled the days off from work because I was expecting to be entertaining family for a few days around commencement, and had then scheduled a few days off for a short vacation. Instead I spent 11 days driving about, camping at Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, visiting the Black Hills along the way.

It was fun, but I think I'd've preferred the shorter vacation but graduating in front of family and friends. You got to do that before your lunchtime fun at least. Sorry the experience afterwards was no fun. I hope you feel better soon.
