Turns out graduation is an expensive event.
For those of you still curious, I am graduating
in about 6 weeks. Seems like just recently I
was telling all of my friends in Dallas that
I was packing up and heading to Indiana. Now,
nearly 2 years later, and countless research
hours later, I am about to walk up on that stage
again...this time with big, gay hood. My hood
is going to be citron...seriously, who wants a
citron hood? So today we fought the crowds of
undergrads just trying to get our graduation
packets, tickets, and robes. I have decided that
this graduation warrants a class ring, so I am
shopping for that too. Seems like I can get a
freaking huge one, or one that almost looks too
small. It is the first time I have ever heard this
one: (while looking at rings the salesperson chimes
in without scarcasm) "A class ring is a diploma for your finger!"
I just want something sliver, sharp and
clean lines, and sturdy (as I tend to pound on
things and whack my rings out of shape). Is that
too much to ask?

Maybe I should skip the ring and go with something
a little more 'timely':
