Well, I got through graduation on May 18th without tripping or being remotely UNgraceful (as I tend to be when not in garb). I got to wear my Phi Theta Kappa stole as well as the "olde gold" tassel of summa cum laude, and a red rose for the Art Dept. :) It was bittersweet as the tribute atop my mortarboard read "In Memorium: Badge #100" for my Dad, who passed away during my second semester.

Next step is getting cross-registered for my first semester with Empire State College for a Bachelor's Degree Program in Historical Studies (with a concentration of Women in Medieval History)

I have a great summer job, Monday thru Friday ONLY, as a summer program arts teacher for the local community center. That will leave me weekends FREE for Sterling and the SCA.

BTW: WOLGEMUT will be performing for the July dates at Sterling Renaissance Festival, then will be at the second week of Pennsic War, before finishing their season at the Pennsylvania RenFaire! WooHoo!

One week and one day until I go in and set up my drawings for a 2 person student Art Exhibit at our local Chamber of Commerce. A month long show is a rarity, a TWO student show even more rare, and since the work is my drawings and the other girls' textile designs....is just incredible.

We two were chosen over at least 30 other talented art students for this Senior Show, which will include newspaper coverage and an opening reception. We are both flabbergasted to be singled out (since neither of us feel like our best work was picked for the show!)

Now if I could just wear some spiffy Tudor garb instead of trying to find some non- blue jean civvies in my closet....

*sigh*
