It has been a weekend of some of my favorite traditions here at MC! I can't say that I have one favorite tradition, because I love them all, but Class Day is up there near the top. Yesterday was 2010 & 2012's Class Day. It was a beautiful ceremony and of course, with 2010, it was anything but traditional! On any other typical class day, the sophomores make 2, 100 foot long daisy chains, filled with hand-picked ivy and white daisies, with the front of the chains filled with colorful daisies. Instead, in memory and in honor of the class of 1910, red roses were tucked in throughout the entire daisy chain and the front was filled with red and pink roses. In 1910, the classes chose to make their chains out of ramblin' red roses instead of white daisies. This was a wonderful way to honor this class from 100 years before!
The rest of the ceremony went off without a hitch and came with many tears, from all! I can't believe that next year, that will be us tearing up the beautiful daisy chain. I was also very excited to see 2010's class doll - Iris Elizabeth Green! See, next year, I will be serving as one of the co-chairs for our, 2011's, class doll! I am so excited and already have a book of ideas so that I can remember all of these little ideas that I come up with throughout the next several months!
Today, of course, was graduation. It was a very emotional day - for the seniors are leaving, so they are sad about parting their ways with their best friends; their littles are sad because their bigs are leaving; we are sad because some of the friends that we have made are graduating and are moving on to the real world. When we return on to MC for the first day of classes for our SENIOR year, on August 18, 2010, we will be the only girls on campus with an Onyx ring on the right hand and will be the ones that the rest of the campus looks up to - we are "the big girls on campus" now! And that is what is so hard to believe. Before we know it, we will have finished our last Cornhuskin on Nov. 5, we will have celebrated with our parents at Senior Parent Night, we will have been inducted into the Alumnae Association, celebrated 11th night with our best friends, and we will have torn apart the daisy chain that our littles have spent countless hours making for us and we will be walking across the mound one last time as an undergraduate student at Meredith College. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that we were moving into the dorms that thought that it was going to be a long four years! Now, we have one year, actually less that one year until graduation and want the next year to go by oh so very slowly!
