to recap the past couple of weeks...

I was hooded on May 5 by my favorite Gregg.

I had a lovely birthday bash with several of my favorites... (though only Beth, Lark, Jen, and Chris are pictured...)


I had a similar fun bash at home with my family.

I signed a contract to move into an apartment in Cary at the beginning of July.

I have packed a total of 5 boxes for my fast approaching move home to Gates Co. for the limbo month after this lease ends and before the other one starts.

I bought my sister a rock and 5 snails.

I met with the dean (finally) and after much BS-ing on his part (I mean really, be in your office when you say you'll be there. geesh) my thesis has finally been signed off on by all parties and is currently in the printing and binding process. In 6-8 weeks I shall have a beautiful blue bound thesis with white lettering.

I went and saw Over the Hedge AND X-Men III: The Last Stand (which, if the end is any indication, is not the last stand at all). Both were simply wonderful. I love movies on the big screen.

I had sushi.

I had a few drinks and thoroughly enjoyed my time with friends that are all about to go seperate ways. Tomorrow is the "farewell" party.

I stopped to smell the roses.


And danced in the rain.
