Nate and I were reminiscing about some weird things that happened to me during pregnancy.  One of those things was that I became particularly emotional about graduation ceremonies.  I watched several movies/ tv shows that contained graduation scenes, and without fail I would find myself crying hysterically over them.  The Cosby show when Theo graduated from college was one, and also Gilmore Girls when Rory graduated from Yale.  One variant was Anne of Green Gables, when Anne tied Gilbert for the Avery Scholarship - that one was a doosie.  Of all the things in that movie to make me cry - a scholarship?!  I had to pause the movie because I was crying so hard I couldn’t see the TV through my tears.  Pregnancy hormones are a mysterious thing.  I got Jacob out of the deal, so I guess it was all worth it, but now I’m wondering if commencement exercises are still going to have the same effect on me.  Master’s Seminary graduation is right around the corner, so if you see a sobbing red-head in the G-Com courtyard on the 10th of May, that’s me and I’m ok.  The robes, the degree announcing, the diplomas… it’s hard for some people.
