Invasion of the Parents =O
Unlike MOST of my weekends, this past one was rather eventful. Oh, where do I start?
So, all of last week was devoted to doing final projects. I did three projects over four days. Not bad.
Then I had a film "final" on Friday, which consisted of waiting around for your turn, wherein you had seven minutes to argue your grade. At least that was the idea. My seven minutes was more like Jimbo (the professor) saying "Oh my God you're amazing. A plus plus plus." Soooooo, yeah.
Perhaps also of note is that for the past few weeks, Heather's seemed to have been rather a bit coy with me. On Friday, though, I pointed out how her pant cuffs were torn up. She was like "huh?" wherein a proceeded to grab the cuffs, which startled her and made her jump and yell at me or something (which I laughed at). After this event, she started playing with me like she used to. Rather curious.
My parents arrived via plane around 9:00 AM that day. I was waiting around to take the final (or perhaps it was afterwards) when they called. It took them 30 minutes to find DigiPen, and another 30 to find the art campus. Heather and Grant finished their "finals" with Jimbo and I headed out with them, where I met John -- also waiting for a ride. We talked about "omg we're graduating!" for a bit until my parents finally showed up.
The rest is, honestly, a bit blurry. My parents were tolerable (and perhaps even fun) for all of three hours before I was bored with them and just wanted them gone. They stayed in my room, so I had to try and live without a computer for a few days.
My graduation ceremony was on Sunday. Not too much to say about that, really. I found myself exceptionally reluctant to finally be done with this school. Odd, eh?
My parents helped me buy a car. I am now the ambivalent owner of a 2001 Ford Focus with 123k miles on it. Not my personal choice for a car, but, hey, it's a car.
On the job front, I might just take a job that does indeed have one of those crappy non-compete clauses, as it's looking like Microsoft really wants me. I take the gauntlet on Tuesday.
I should find out if there's not some kind of party this weekend.
