| View On The Real World
As a senior, I'm just a few months away until the realm from the so called "real world" shining upon me. As my parents helped me pay my last undergraduate tuition bill, I officially became on my own. Well, what's next?
In the deep inner working of my Microsoft Outlook calendar, lies May 20, 2007. Highlighted in red and labeled as commencement, the date I have longed for is only about 101 days away. I've spent approximately the last 5,840 days of my life committed to completing formal education. My last class is coming close - at least, for now.
The University, like many universities, calls the conferring of degrees "commencement."
As a freshman, I wondered why. As a senior, it became quite clear. That ceremonial lateral arabesque across the commencement stage, as Charles Canedy III of the Barney School would proudly put it, is symbolic of not only academic achievement, but in progressing to the next step in life.

Love, circa 1936
Creased, faded and fragile, the paper card's intent announces, in perfectly scripted type, "Valentine Greetings." Amid country cottages and pink flowers, a pinched pink ribbon laces a scalloped, floating heart. Opened, it reveals this sentiment: "To love is to remember, and I love to remember you." Dr. Marion and Peggy Hook first shared this Valentine's Day card in 1936. They have exchanged it nearly every year since. Peggy Hook, now 87, remembers picking the card at the R.L. Bryan store, then on Main Street, and sending it to her beau, Marion, then a pre-med student at USC. "It was exactly what I wanted to say," she said. Marion Hook found himself in an age-old dilemma: He had not purchased a card for his girl.
