Our dedication ceremony (previously termed "capping" back-in -the -day) is coming up in about 2 weeks. Apparently this is a pretty big deal and we will even be given invitations. One teacher says she thinks this is more beautiful than graduation and we can invite family. I pondered who I would invite since there are no relatives nearby. When you think about it, really, this is a mom ceremony. I can't really picture asking my friends to sit through a long ceremony with speeches on a nice sunny Saturday when its not even graduation...its the beginning of clinicals. Sure they might come and paste on some smiles, but they wouldn't know anyone else. This is the type of thing a mom would like or pretend to like as she shot various pictures. Maybe I'll ask Kathy's mom to take some pictures for me. =0))

...i would come if it was a "capping" i mean if you actually had to stand there while someone placed one endearing caps on your head and something like "i now deem a student nurse" and forced you to wear the cap for the rest of your life. i would even listen to the speaches and clap politlly. too bad the fifties are over....i would drive to texas for that. but congradulations on your next big step.
shoot....i should learn to spell
"capping" also makes me think of another ghetto inference from that word...you'd prob show up for that too. =0))
