BAC graduation

Graduation: BAC Commencement Part 2

June 9, 2010

Here are the last couple of photos from the Boston Architectural College Commencement from May 29th 2010.

my mom snapped this right after we sat down

in line before going to get my ‘dipolma’

yay we’re done!

I wish that I did not look so bad for these family photos but I was so flushed and my hair was so smashed down. After the last photo and ripped off my gown. I was way too hot. I felt dizzy from the heat and not really eating the ‘breakfast’ school provided.  At least I got a few photos in before having a melt down.
My super prepared mom had a bottle of water that I stole before running to the trolley to returned to school for my diploma.
After that I got to relax for our party with family and friends!!

Graduation: Boston Architectural College Commencement Part 1

June 4, 2010

Incase you missed it in a previous post, facebook, twitter, or in person… I GRADUATED!!! 

Holy hell, I never thought that day would come. No, I never really planned on dropping out but when you enter college directly from high school and you are facing a 7 year program, the end seems far away. The days drag on when you are working full time and going to school for 3 to 6 hours for a few nights a week. Also, when I entered the median age was somewhere around 35. Plus the graduation rate is 8%. So the fact that I, along with the other 121 students, graduated this year is pretty damn impressive. Round of applause for us!!!

I was so excited to be done but I had an issue with something. And that something was this GD lame beret that we all had to wear. Sure it honors one of the long-standing past presidents of the college. But why? Why can’t I have my tassel to flip over when I am officially done? Plus have you seen people in Berets… come on! I grumbled but finally put it on at the last-minute.

 We, the students, grouped up outside of the school to take a class photo. I wonder if I ever get a copy? Then we lined up to walk a few blocks down to Old South Church, where the commencement was being held. Leading us on our trek was a Dixieland band. It was pretty funny to see people staring at the gaggle of us marching down Newbury Street  with a band in front.

 

Since the Bachelor of Architecture Degree has a handful of graduates Price and I got to sit next to each other in the second row. The benefit of having alphabetically close last names. 🙂

The graduation ceremony ran a bit over 2 hours. There were a series of awards, honorary degrees, and speeches that were for us and for the architecture community. One of the things mentioned was how active our school is with activities and outreach, one of which is the semster down in Biloxi for post Katrina building… which Pricer did!!!

 Mayor Thomas M. Menino was our graduation speaker. He received and honorary degree for Doctor in Sustainable Communities for his involvement in transforming the city into a Green city. It was pretty cool to have him speak at the graduation. I can’t really tell you what he was talking about since I was so distracted from being so hot from 1) several hundred people stuffed into a church 2) no AC 3) robe 4) wool beret. I just remember about him saying how he has just made a bunch of people mad after he said we must remember the scale of Boston and we can’t have any big skyscrapers…. which is what he was trying to pass just a few years ago.

 After Menino spoke the handing out of fake diplomas began….

Living by countdowns

April 2, 2010

I can’t just live in the  moment. I constantly look forward to the things to come. It’s not to say that I don’t enjoy what I’m doing at that moment. It’s just ingrained in me. I look forward to holidays, birthdays, seasons, vacations, etc. Sure while on vacation I love every second of it and think of nothing else, but once I am back I’m thinking ” Okay, where to next? What’s the next project?”

Vintage Westclox Pocket Ben Pocket Watch  -  Manufactured in Canada August 1948

This week has been long in the fact that it rained again there were more water issues. I’m tired of sump pumps and dehumidifiers. We moved the computer in the office to have a better set up and in lost internet connection for no real reason than to annoy me. Annoying engineers. Stepping over hoses in the bathroom. Angry rabbits who are determined to go in their normal place but can’t because of the hole in the floor. The list can go on but the point is that looking forward to the weekend has gotten me through the week.

4/2- Leave for Greenwich- LESS THAN 5 HOURS!

4/3-4- Day in the City- 1 day

4/13- Glee is back!- 11 days

4/16-4/18- Weekend in Skaneateles- 13 days

4/27- Semi Precious Weapons concert- 24 days

5/1- CKC Manchester- 32 days

5/23- LOST Series final- 50 days

5/29- BAC graduation and party!- 59 days

  

I can’t wait to reach these ‘milestones’ and cross them off my list to amp up for the next thing

PS- I would love this pocket watch.
