I’ve officially graduated!

So graduation is now over. An interesting one it was, at that. We all looked like rotund grapes walking down the center of the gym in the incredibly stifling heat. The ceremony went well, though. I was wearing my honor cords and my rank medallion, which weighs a ton! The problem began when it was all over and getting ready to leave. The tornado sirens went off and we were dragged in to wait in classroomd near the center of the school. There were 70 mph winds and some cloud rotation over the school, but no tornado in the end. We left half an hour later. All the festival tents for the summer festival season (Germanfest, Canal Days, etc.) throughout Fort Wayne and New Haven were generally torn down, but there didn’t seem to be much damage. What a way to remember the class of ‘08!
