Commencement was today. Matt’s been on all of senior week, with the exception of two days, during which I took him home with me and we spent quality time together and ate not-Sherman food. It was quiet, mostly. One call, when he was not on call. Until Saturday, when there were a few more.
Last night, we were going to bed around 1:30 when to pager went off—he disappeared, I dreamed that it was 3:00 and he wasn’t back, he came back at 2:40, I was confused. We slept. He woke up at 6 so that he could go be on the commencement detail. I got up at 7:15, got dressed, went to mini-commencement, big commencement, and two more minis.
So, the BEMCo commencement detail is there not only to save lives, but to look good doing so. Class A uniforms for BEMCo are what regular uniforms are for ambulances—white shirt with badges, pants with many pockets and that little snap-thing to hold the shears in place. I stopped by and said hello to him and Dan and Paul and Kassie for a bit in between things.
After the detail was over, I went back to Matt’s room and when he got back from showering, he crashed for a few hours while I went to the creative arts mini. Also, note: Matt successfully showered not once, but twice while on call. And shaved (yay, no prickly on-call stubble)!
We’re done with my freshman year. Brandeis is closed to me until the fall. It was amazing. Posts this summer will most likely be on a weekly basis, and I predict them going from “Woohoo training is fantastic” to “Oh heck, why am I working full-time and training?”
Congrats to all those in the class of 2009!
