Graduation

Today was a busy, sleep-depriving day; Evan, Christy, and Liz had their diploma and hooding ceremonies, with plenty of pictures all taken all around. Liz's ceremony was in the morning, so after a _very_ short night of sleep I ran odd to it with her family, and after 2 hours went back to her apartment for some sandwiches. The statistics department ceremony was in the early afternoon, followed by a savory lunch/dinner at Fridays! and a _rousing_ 3-hour game of Bang! with all the kids. We all had a great time, though it'd probably been a little more enjoyable if I hadn't been so short on sleep. Didn't get to go to Evan's ceremony due to lack of tickets, but hopefully the pictures will be good.

There's a reason why the Sabbath is the day of rest. I just wish I wasn't always in such dire need of physical rest to concentrate more on my opportunity to focus on spiritual rest more. God has been very good to me and mine these last few days; hopefully I'll appreciate in more than a general way (and actually write of it) once I've had some actual sleep.
