The Summer of Buzz- Part I

It has been a very long time since I've taken a moment to update this blog, but with very good reason. This summer has been filled with non-stop activity. To begin, I went through graduation ceremonies in late May. It was a wonderful day, memorable for so many reasons. What I think I remember most was the presence of my family and friends, and all the wonderful noise they made upon hearing my name announced first among the International Business majors. My friends from High School, Pete, Dustin, and Melinda came to show their support, as did my mother, who has probably shaped me as a person more than anyone else. What I never would have believed would happen, however, were my grandparents making it out for the day. My grandfather is over 90 years old, and (pictured far right) is in very good shape.

Mom had taken Lauren (my sister) and I out to dinner the previous night, following convocation. The latter ceremony, commencement, was the one in which members of the College of Business walked the stage individually. Following this, my friends and I went to a graduation party of one of my classmates in Genessee Valley Park and celebrated over dinner. Something about the memory of cruising into the sunset in my friend's yellow mustang on that day, listening to "Swamped" by the group Lacuna Coil, will be forever engraved into my memory.
