Last weekend I walked across the stage in the Kolf Sports Center on the UW Oshkosh campus. It was the longest and shortest walk of my life. It was the most surreal experience and it went something like this:
At the moment I walked on stage and handed the announcer my card, everything stopped. It was as if I was in my own little graduation moment, as if walking across stage became a living metaphor in which my past, present, and future suddenly became one. As I walked across the stage, shook Chancellor Wells's hand, and received my diploma, everything stopped. I saw nothing, I heard nothing. I just...graduated.
I've had a lot of great moments in my life, but right now nothing compares to this feeling!
