Be as bold as the first person to ever eat an oyster

so, i have feelings about graduation afterall. the moment i got my diploma in pick staiger, got awkwardly hugged and congratulated by the deans, took my first and last picture with chuck larson, actually turned out to be one of those magnificent milestone moments you hear about. whoas. i was seriously happy. i almost did a jig, because i will never have to sit through another CSD "class"/bs for the rest of my life! (THANK GOD) now, there's something to cheer about. :D

the last three years are kind of a blur - a blissful, worry-free, and rather short blur. hmm, that may or may not be sad? a few awesome classes here and there, se asian politics, intermed. comp (made all the more pleasurable by sam and eddie), dev of the modern american city, intro to russian lit, modern middle east, and don't kill me, orgo. (notice how none of it was in CSD. ugh.)

some awesome memories: good times in CCI, friday nights in slivka, tina's banana bread, poker in the lounge, "mike" video, lphie parties (um, not that awesome), hot pot, cutting hair in the boy's bathroom, giving alex a reverse mohawk, green peppers, "education," bio lab with alex, mexico, realizing sam was as mean as me!, asb, jk jk, field trips w/ eddie, dc, osu vs nu, dress up with kathleen, seeing sunrises, dm, carbaa's room, ethnic food adventures, cg's mustache, memento (freak out session), senior focus rap, being ridiculous with tina (girl eats popcorn with chopsticks), underclassmen, ellen and rayna, and lots and lots of smiling and laughing.

it was kind of sad (maybe even really sad) not graduating with '07, none of the picture taking craziness/sad goodbyes that was hs graduation. but i'm ridiculously excited for fall, med school, the future. i need to get off the treadmill and on to some real ground. ahhh, i'm so ready to go, i can barely contain myself.
