Graduation is this weekend. There's a university-wide graduation on Saturday, then a "degree conferral ceremony" (where he actually walks the stage) on Sunday. He's only planning to do the Sunday ceremony.
Finals are over and he's good to go. He's planning to stay a few extra days in his college town to pack up and enjoy time with his friends (his lease goes till mid-July). Then he'll be coming home, going on vacation with the family, then starting his new job in mid-June. It's local to us but in a part of town he's not super familiar with, so he's going to be living at home for a few months till he decides where he wants to live, etc.
I can't remember if I posted about this... but he had an internship in New York City last summer which culminated in a post-graduation job offer, which he accepted. He had interned with the company part-time and remotely for about a year and a half before they brought him in the the NYC office for the summer. However, he came to us later in the fall and said that he was considering looking for other opportunities because he had some concerns. He felt like they were growing REALLY fast and were staffing up for deals that may or may not happen. And he had concerns that one of the deals was headed in a bad direction. He also said that while NYC was cool place to spend a summer, he wasn't sure he really wanted to be there permanently. Turns out he was right... just a month ago, the deal officially fell through and the company laid off a bunch of people, including the other intern who got a job offer (he hadn't even officially started yet.) So I am VERY glad that DS searched for, and found, something else before he was in NYC with a lease and no job! Hopefully the new job will be a good fit for him.
