It is the end of another long day. I did not write yesterday because by the time I got back to the dorms, I had just enough energy to shower and crawl into bed. They are indeed keeping us busy here. We are also eating like pigs. The cafeteria-style dining facility is great. I need to get one of those for the house. I am really surprised that I am not 500lbs by now. But I digress.
Yesterday, we took a tour of Rock of Ages. This is a company that mines granite and transforms it into many products. Do a Google search for more info on them. I took some great photos of the largest hole in the ground I have ever seen. I will post them next week. We also had some other events scheduled in the morning and in the evening. They were more for fun than any academic purpose. But a good time was had by all.
Today was graduation rehearsal day. We also attended a ceremony where we were hooded by the leadership at the school. It was a great moment. It was the next to last activity before graduation. That comes Friday morning. Everybody is anxious in anticipation of graduation. We are also ready to move on with life. We have all had a great time. Now we want to go do something with our degrees. Being part of the Norwich family and carrying on that tradition is important.
I have met a lot of great people here. I have enjoyed the scenery. It is like nothing else I have ever seen. It makes me want to come back at some point just to visit. I am also seriously considering taking a certificate course from Norwich so that I can obtain teaching credentials. But that is a discussion for another day.
Graduation comes early. Need to sleep!
