On My Graduation Day?

I have a break between my classes on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s so I find a nice quit place to work on homework. Today I decided to work on my COL 101 homework and one of the assignments was to write a journal entry on an accomplishment that you visualize in the future. My teacher told me to write about the day I graduate from college. I needed to make it a colorful story that really drew a picture of what was happening.

All right, this is a joke. I am sooo sick of doing stupid things that don’t help me in life at all but only give me a good laugh….sooo for my visualization of the exact moment in the future when I experience the accomplishment of graduating I wrote this…..

I am dressed in my long, black robe, my red, black and white tassel hanging from my graduation cap. I can barely contain my excitement as I peek around in my chair to see the thousands of face there that day. I spot my family as they wave to me. I blush and wave back just before I quickly turn back around in my seat. The announcer starts to call names but he is an old fellow and speaks slowly, my mind starts to wander to my plans for the weekend. I'm dreaming about ice cream and no more late nights of studying. I'm thinking about my wedding that I can't wait to plan but than I remember I don't even have a man and all of a sudden I hear my named being screamed at me over and over…"Bender, Bender! MISS BENDER!" I jump in my seat as I realize the announcer is calling my name and the audience roars with laughter. I start my walk up to the front with pink reaching to my ears but a wide smile spreads across my face. This is the moment, I thought! When I reach the stage I shake hands with the college president who is smiling at me. I think “Gosh, that smile looks like someone glued it to her face, its sooo perfect!” than I return her, my big bright smile and take my diploma. The crowd goes wild and I hear a voice scream "That's my girl!" to my horror it was my father and I quickly left the stage, wishing he wouldn't have done that, but nothing could ruin this day because I am a graduate!!! I had finished a chapter in my life.
