So, in a few hours I’ll be heading off for Italy.

I suppose I should talk about graduating first, though.

The truth of the matter is that I didn’t perceive graduation as anything unusually special. Hell, we didn’t even get our diplomas at the ceremony—apparently under Tennessee state law you have to sign for them, so we pick them up afterwards.

Not only that, but the transition from high school student to graduate has been rather slow. I stopped going to school about a week and a half ago, and school has been winding down for a lot longer than that.

In any case, the ceremony was well done, and all speeches were very nice.

But now, like I said, I’m heading for Italy.

I have a notebook, a camera, and lots of paper, so I’m planning to have a few blog entries written up by the time I get back. If I’m really lucky, I’ll manage to convince Dad at the last minute to let me take my laptop with me, but I’m not counting on that one.

Assume that I”ll be completely out of touch with the world until June 1, and won’t be able to check my e-mail until June 5.
