It can be scary to talk in front of others! I've pretty much gotten used to it--I love to teach.

Ideas for your friend for graduation--a scrapbook for graduation pictures (if you're interested, I'll FReep you some ideas. That's what I'm making for two friends' kids who are graduating from HS this month). Picture frame for a pic of you, engraved with a saying about friends. Or yes, something practical for grad school. Who is going to be your roommate next year?

That's funny about the button--at least people are noticing!

That would be one of the many reasons I could never be a teacher. I like to talk to people one on one but I get so nervous speaking in front of even a small group.

The scrapbook is a good idea. But I gave her one of those the day she moved into her dorm freshman year. We weren't roommates then. I went to school about two and a half hours away but I transferred after a year. The picture frame might be a good idea. I'm not really sure what she'd need for grad school that she doesn't already have. Except for food and that should probably wait until just before she leaves. (Yes, I intend to give her a graduation present AND a present when she leaves.) I'm thinking the picture frame would be a good idea. She doesn't have a framed picture of us. And then I could give her a basket of food when she leaves. (Maybe a box of food.)
