Evelyn's a college graduate today!

This afternoon, Evelyn graduated from SUNY Stony Brook with a BA in English. Here is the gym with the red and white balloons in the front of the seats.
The program. When I went to Stony Brook, they were not doing everything with the school colors. I liked this.
The graduates waiting to be seated.

After the ceremony, the college let thousands of red and white balloons fall from the ceiling. If you click on the picture, you can see it. Since this was a winter graduation, there were less students than normal, but it was kind of nice to have a smaller group (about 1000) instead of the huge number it usually is. Much more intimate. I could see Evy in her seat most of the time and I was close enough to see her get her diploma.
Here she is with flowers from her dad. All done. Next stop, graduate school. She already has an internship/job opportunity lunch coming up next week, so she is on the move!! She has several things in mind, so if one thing does not work out, she will just move on.
