Graduation

Tomorrow I am graduating from Biola University.
Tomorrow I am finishing my undergraduate journey.
Tomorrow I am finishing my time in the world of education.
Tomorrow I am walking across a stage, shaking a hand, and receiving a diploma.

Tomorrow is a big day!

Tomorrow is Graduation!

Wait, what?

Is is too late to change my career? I mean graduation is in a few days, but it's possible to make a U-turn right?

I just watched a cute little webinar on how the CPA exam is changing in 2011. It was informative and sounded like I could handle it while working full-time. It will be a challenge, but didn't sound too daunting until...

The instructor said that passing the CPA exam is entirely possible if you drop everything in your life. He went on to say that you know you are taking studying seriously when your friends stop calling...

All of a sudden I feel like a caged tiger that is dying to maul the idiots hanging their small children over the railing into my zoo exhibit...OK, maybe not.

But seriously friends, please don't stop calling me! Even if I have post-it notes and note cards as wall paper...

I Will Survive [Biola]



First I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept think I could never live
On this crazy college ride
But I spent so many nights,
cramming notes to take a test
Then I passed them,
and put studying to a rest
May 29th!
We’re here at last
It’s graduation, flip you tassel,
this went by way too fast
I should have taken more pictures
I should have gone on more GYRADS
If I had know for just one second
That college would fade like a fad

Freshman year, it was grand
Made new friends ‘cause
there was adventure to be had
Then as sophomores, we learned how to be RAs
remember GYRADs
and those early training days
Oh Biola!
I have survived
After 4 exciting years
Its time to say goodbye
I have made some life long friends
Your influence will not end
And I’ll survive
I will survive

Junior year, it got better than I thought
Meg do you remember the ridiculous mirrors we bought
And we spent so many nights
In the office discussing life
We still laugh
Cause we’re such a tight staff
Senior year
The last hurrah
Engagements, presentations, and running from the law
So I have grown in mind and heart
And I have never been too bored
Now I’m ready to face the world
And impact it for the Lord!

Oh Biola! You hidden Gem
Who’d a known that
That I would love you in the end
We’ve had our ups and down now
When I missed my home
Oh, my dear mountains
But now the beach is where I roam
Oh Biola!
I have survived
After 4 exciting years
Its time to say goodbye
I have made some life long friends
Your influence will not end
And I’ll survive
I will survive
