Torbetta - read your post. You were excited to get the grad info, yet say you are not enthuised about going. I think it's just your IBS fears getting in the way. After having gone to all of the effort TO graduate, you should at least CELEBRATE. Go to the grad. You worked for it and earned it. You deserve to be honoured on this special day. That's what these ceremonies are for. I can't remember if you're C or D or both. If you are D, what I did was take an imodium. I have 2 degrees - so I survived 2 "hood" ceremonies. Go and be happy. If worst comes to worst, ask if you can sit on the end of an aisle. Who cares if you have to get up to go to the bathroom? You will not lose marks or your degree so don't worry. And if you can't get an aisle seat, who cares? No one will care if you have to get up. If they do, they aren't worth worrying about and probably don't know you anyway!!!!!! There will not be signs posted saying "NO bathroom breaks!" Yes, I'm being cheeky, but seriously. Go. And if you don't want to go out for dinner afterwards, fine. Prepare some of your favourite dishes at home and enjoy. Toast yourself to a drink - or maybe some sparkling grape juice - I love the stuff and in small amounts with food, I can tolerate a bit. BTW- what is your degree? What is your major? Congrats. Any more thoughts on a brother for your girls? BTW - your girls are beautiful.
