Seminary Graduation

Seminary is finally over! A couple weeks ago we had seminary graduation. All the grads were consumed with terror and dread upon realizing that no speakers had been assigned on the program. Our worst fears were confirmed when the stake president announced that they would be calling up individuals to go up and speak for three minutes on a randomly chosen scripture mastery. I was not chosen. They did well though, nothing embarrassing happened. We finished off the night with floats, pictures and socializing. To be honest, I will miss seminary. I always loved going to seminary. We had a great teacher and great lessons.

Grad Time!

So far my grad experience has consisted of Commencement, Grad Dinner/Dance, and then Dry Grad. Those don't necessarily mark the end of school, they just mark one month till school is over. Kind of anticlimactic. Oh well, it's almost over now, then I get to start work at a box factory for the summer. Fun!

If it was hard to hear in the video i got two scholarships, one for visual arts, and one for being a patient of Dr. Maduke (orthodontist). After commencement, for a grad present, Mom and Mad got me a TomTom GPS car Navigator. Exactly what I need for my poor sense of direction. I changed the voice so that Austin Powers is giving me directions in the car. "Groovy driving! Yeah!"

The theme of this years dry grad was Las Vagas, so there were gambling tables, show girls, and a fake tattoo place. There were also inflatable jumping castles and obstacle courses, virgin drinks, a hypnotist show, good food, a couple drunk people, door prizes, a place to get your caricature done, and a place to cash in our fake gambling winnings for candy. I left with Purdey's Chocolate, a $25 gift card to metrotown, and a whole whack of sinfully purchased candy. Actually I used less money to purchase the candy than I started off with. Dang wheel! Overall I was a little disappointed, but it was still very fun.

This is getting my Caricature done at dry grad.
