That's my boy!!

I am so proud of Twitch!! He graduated yesterday (12-13-2012) from the Art Institute in Charlotte. At mid day the graduates had a portfolio show. It was a networking opportunity; industry employers were invited. He had resumes and business cards to hand out. 

 In the evening they held the graduation exercises. It was a bit less boring than most graduation ceremonies I've been to. The speeches were shorter. I liked that part a lot. The audience was not encouraged to display decorum, which I did NOT like. Things were not done "decently and in order." There was lots of hooting and other embarrassing displays from audience members directed at various graduates. The giggle of girls sitting directly behind us were particularly shrill and loud, to the point that Superman and I covered our ears in pain when they expressed their preference and excitement for a friend. One of the girls leaned forward and apologized afterward, which I did appreciate.

Another frustrating aspect, and it was entirely my fault, is that I did not actually see the boy go across the stage and receive his diploma. I was trying to take a picture with my camera but it didn't work right. I concentrated so on the picture-taking that I missed the event. I regret that. I hate regret, even small ones, and am working to "let it go."

Here he is, the new graduate. Cute, ain't he? 

In other news, my life is frustrating. But I want this post to be all about the boy, so I shall write another post for that purpose.
