May 7, 2006 marked another milestone in the life of one of my favoritest people in the world, MC/BR a.k.a Mini Genuis. She graduated from the English Masters program today, strutting her stuff amongst 700+ undergrad and grad students and an arena full of proud parents, grandparents, drunken relatives, and friends who were probably hung over from celebrating the night before...I almost felt like a proud parent as I waited for her name to be called and watched her make her way across the stage. For 2 years, I've watched her spend hours in front of the computer working on a paper or a journal entry, seen her submerge herself in literature for weekends on end and even made fun of her when she got that B instead of an A in a grant writing course. I've even seen her push the art of procrastination to new heights...It's been an awesome trip, one that's even made me consider how sure I am about attending grad school in the future, but at the end I can honestly proclaim that I'm so very proud of my MG, in constant awe of her extreme capacity to learn and a teensy bit jealous of the way she's made getting an English masters appear easy. As always, I love her dearly and look forward to seeing what else life has in store for her and I just pray that I'll still be around to enjoy the ride!
