with only 2 weeks (+ 1 day) of school left, we are in crunch time. these last 11 days of school are jam packed with normal lessons, extra assemblies and shows, major end-of-the-year exams, field trips, and, oh yeah, 5th grade graduation.
with my graduation ceremony experience limited to those during which i was receiving a diploma, things have been a bit overwhelming. especially since there are no traditions established at the school for the graduation festivities, L and i are in over our heads.
this evening, i was doing a bit of casual research to get some ideas for every little component of what we might include in our graduation ceremony. i mean, how long should it be, what should i wear, what should i SAY!? oh man, with the realization that i'd need to say something, i became stressed.
then, i stumbled upon dr. seuss's "oh! the places you'll go!" and fondly remembered that it was my favorite graduation present -- just a fun reminder that life happens and things will go well if you use your head. when i graduated high school and read the book so thoughtfully gifted to me, i never thought that i would be where i am right now... who knows where i'll be in 6 more years! oh! the places i'll go.
"you have brains in your head. you have feet in your shoes. you can steer yourself any direction you choose. you're on your own. and you know what you do. and YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."
