Graduation: One step closer

On Sunday 22 May, 2005 I was recognized to recieve my B.A. in Asian Studies from Berea College. I got say that the ceremony was awesome, despite the fact that I did not receive my degree. Hearing Desmond Tutu's speech was incredible, the weather was perfect, and I saw all my friends that I might never see again, which is sad. My mother was here for all the festivities, and she was absolutely tickled. This was her first time in Berea, and I think that she was impressed by the college, she met many of my friends, and professors, and got to see me graduate. I have mad appreciation to my mother, she has been through alot to keep me alive. I am glad that she was able to experience Berea.

My work is still not done, have one more class to take, and I must begin planning my year in Dharamsala. These past couple of weeks are the prelude to what is to come. This is all I have for now. Stay tuned.
