I’ve been working all day on homework and final projects. I feel like if I think any more my head will explode. I am nowhere near done either. So much to do, so much to do. I hope I can get more accomplished tomorrow. I am feeling the stress.

I started making my graduation announcements today. They aren’t fancy. I wanted them more homemade 1. because I can, 2, because it’s more personal, 3. I don’t have the money for expensive fancy ones. I’m sure my family and friends will appreciate them. I even wrote the words, pretty personal. This is what my announcements say:

She’s finally received her degree,

The entire crowd shouts, “Yippee!”

Six long years of hard work and study;

Many were good, a few that were cruddy.

To improve herself; she was given a chance

Success achieved: pomp and circumstance.

At eleven a.m. (yes, that’s morning)

On May sixth, of two thousand and six

Lines of robe-clad graduates will be forming

In the UNI Dome grand

of Cedar Falls, Iowa.

The Dean finally decrees as she stands:

(my name)

You have earned your Bachelor’s Degree this day

From the College of Humanities and Fine Arts,

In Spanish

Now proud alum of the University of Northern Iowa,

Congratulations!

I really like it. I’m happier with this than I think I would have been with something more traditional. What’cha think?

Master and I have been working on my new speech training. He is constantly reminding me to use his title when I address him and the please and thank yous are getting ridiculous. I know I will get the hang of it, and I want to please him so this is just part of the task. I think he enjoys his girl being good too (you couldn’t tell by the smile on his face when I talk to him appropriately without being prompted).
