Inside my graduation announcements, I included this. It's a summary of Mars Hill College!

Dear Person whom this will be individually addressed to

Aah, that's an awesome letter.. thing. Who are these going out to, exactly? o_O

You make your school sound awesome, and you sound so incredibly active! :O Makes me ashamed of my own existence here xD; Grugh. And ooh, yeah. You're going back to Romania and you're going to travel around Europe and stuff. Looking forward to hearing all about that when you get there :)

Lol. You send graduation annoucements to family members or people who were really important in getting you through college. I hated sending them out because it's like obligatory that the person sends you back a gift. It's like a gift request. Mostly you get cash, which I'm going to put toward my loan.. anyway I sent out 25 and I was out of control because you normally just send this professional annoucement, but I set that letter and a little picture and story with each one. They were ALL overweight and so I had to pay extra. I never want to write 25 letters again. EVER

D: That sounds complicated and annoying. Love the way you chose to do it, though. You really deserve a little gift for putting so much effort into the graduation announcements. We don't do that over here, as far as I know. D: Though who knows. *is fairly oblivious to things like this due to not knowing anyone who's been through university yet*

Ahahahaah. Language studies are tons of fun, but honestly. What will I ever need broken Japanese for? Except being handy when going on vacation there, I see nothing I can actively use it for. Unless I study it more and get fluent, but.. I can't really see that happening either @_@; Buh, we'll see.

:D! Meeting people from THE INTRAWEBS is always really awkward, but usually a lot of fun. Heee. Would be awesome if we could work something out xD

It is annoying! And they only sell the announcements in packs of 25, 50 and 100. I had 29 people I wanted to send them to - so the people I was closest too, my siblings, I told them the situation and they didn't care. The formal announcements are like $2 EACH! My Mom paid for everything though because I was going to forgo the formal things and just send out my letter of fun. Does the government pay for your education in Norway? I know here people graduate with YEARS AND YEARS of debt. I think $20,000 is the latest average. I know people who owe over $100,000!! It is ridiculous. So anyway, the money people send you is supposed to help. I've had jobs throughout college and the Bonner scholarship so I don't owe much at all. I think I'll be debt free within 7 months... I could pay it off, but I'd rather go to Europe and celebrate. In theory, the interest rates are supposed to be extremely low, like 1%, but Bush has been raising them and now mine are at 7.9

Congratulations!!! LOL. When we became Friends on Livejournal, it was the summer of my first year of university, and haha, you graduated before me. I still have a year left.

You also did so much, way more the most people I know. Also, you motivate me to keep pushing to become a doctor. Especially since you showed that it's possible to complete volunteering, work, school, and still be able to pull off a social life.

I hope you have a blast during your graduation ceremonies and parties.
It sucks that you have that stupid fine despite all your achievements. Hopefully, you don't have a huge student loan, I heard that's the worse part about graduating.

Will we get to see your special Mars Hill photo?

Lol, I am graduating before a lot of people. I am paying for my college on my own, so I was motivated to get out before my loans became huge. I thought I would be graduating in December, so this all came as a semester early surprise! I'm excited, but SO sad about my friends. SO SO SO SAD. In high school I didn't really have any friends I cared about, but here I have two best friends

Your accomplishments are amazing. Congratulations on graduating. I don't graduate until this December. Lame.
I'm excited that you are going back to Pro Vita. Tell Melanie and Mihail I said hello and tell them thanks for a lot of things!!

PS. Obama is not my homeboy.

[herebem0nsters]

Lol, who is your homeboy?

I will most definitly!! I am so excited!!!!!!!

McCain used to be my homie until he made some racist remarks against Asians.

Hey don't forget to bring gum!!! the children took all mine hahaha

[herebem0nsters]

NOooooooooooo! Well I'm glad you're not for McCain anymore....

I'm flying into Rome first and traveling to Bucharest from there, so I'm not bringing much for the kids, but gum would be doable!
