Yesterday ended up being a fun day, even though Ben couldn't come up to visit after all. *shakes fist at him and his apartment moving-in* :-P I went with Grandma and my family to the cemetary, where we visited Grandpa's grave and left flowers. It was nice to look up the rolling hills and see so many markers festooned with flowers, and to know ( Read more... )

I thought I would take the opportunity, while I'm not exhausted, to write a little more about graduation. ( The big day )

I'm sleepy, but alive. Graduation went spiffingly. Saw all my family and got to say goodbye to just about everyone (sorry for anyone I missed). We went up to Chili's for dinner with my family, Grandma, my aunt and uncle and cousin, and Ben and his family, and that was good times. I've made out like a bandit on graduation gifts -- between mailed ( Read more... )

This makes me feel a lot better about leaving college.I can understand wanting to stay another year, beat back the real world a little longer, get a double degree, something like that.

It's been an exhausting past few days. Between worries-I-had-no-need-to-worry-about, finals, and my inability to get more than a few hours of sleep even when I have enough time to sleep in for like 10, I've been exhausted.

Well, Figure Drawing had cupcakes, but it was on Monday, so it didn't seem to count. In stats we just reviewed what we'd done the whole year, and Jackson wasn't here for history (I think he's off drinking in another foreign ( Read more... )

I am bored. Am considering striking out soon from ye olde computer lab to seek my fortune. I have an hour and a half before I need to be at dinner... hmmm. I could finish my scrapbook, certainly. I could call Ben and see where that boy's gotten to. I could start on Witch Week as I finished the book before it last night. (Huzzah, Italian ( Read more... )

I've finally gotten ahold of a bunch of pictures we took the other weekend. Actually, it was the day Grandpa died... and it was very, very good for me to be surrounded by happy laughing drunk friends and to be tipsy myself. Certainly helped keep my mind off things, that did.

Anyway... there are some very amusing pictures from that night. *g*

( BLACKMAIL AHOY )

Gah, I suck lately at updating ye olde LJ. Boo! I have fun stories to tell and everything. Isn't it just the way that the more that's happening to you, the less time you have to share it? :-P ( Read more... )
