Wow.  I've graduated.  After two years of constant work, I'm finally done.  I have the diploma on my kitchen table to prove it.  The ceremony yesterday was pretty nice.  Not too long.  Fortunately, the undergrads and grads have seperate ceremonies, so only about 200 people were actually graduating.  J and his grandparents came.  It was nice.  I ( Read more... )

Today, I took two steps towards my future.  I submitted my application for graduation.  That's right.  I am now offiically ready to graduate at the end of this semester.  Wow.  No more school.  Much as I enjoy it, having a life again will be nice.  The second thing:  I submitted my application for the coolest internship ever.  I applied to work the ( Read more... )

I'm not entirely sure why Heath Ledger's death shocked me so much.  Maybe it's because he is my age. (or really close, we were born in the same year.)  Maybe it's because I've liked him in the few movies I've seen him in.  I didn't believe my husband when he told me about it last night.  I feel bad that his family has to go thoguh this.  I just ( Read more... )

Wow.  It's almost hard to believe that I'll be graduating at the end of this semester.  Much as I enjoy school, I'll be glad to be done.  Hopefully, my life will become less busy now.  At the moment, it's hard to picture life after school.

OKay, I have no idea who is going to see this movie and who has seen it. I don't want to spoil it, so let me just say don't expect it to be a light, happy-go-lucky comedy.  Like Harry Potter, this series seems to get darker as it goes.  Overall, I liked it, though.  Also, there is a bit after the entire cast if you stay around.  I am hiding the ( Read more... )

So, J and I went to St. Louis for most of last week. It was good seeing people. Especially my sister who I haven't seen since the wedding. We had a lot of fun and it was pretty relaxing. My brother didn't seem too excited about graduating, which kinda surprised me. Dad said he's glad to be out of there. I found it a bit odd that they wore ( Read more... )

Okay, so I know that I have no online baseball fans, but I have to share this. On Sunday morning one of the St. Louis Cardinals was in a car accident and died. This hit me pretty hard because he was only about a year older than J and I. It was so random. Also a bit creepy is that the same player had cell phone problems and overslept 3 days ago ( Read more... )

Wow, I can't believe it's already almost May. Here I am almost finished with my second semester of school and getting ready to head to St. Louis for my little bro's graduation from high school. We've been really busy. Fortunately, one more paper and the semester's done. For the moment I'm ignoring the fact that I only have about a week between ( Read more... )

I thought I'd written about the concert on Monday, but apparently not. All I can say is wow. B.B. King may be 81, but the man can still put on a show. He talked a lot between songs to rest his voice, but no one cared. He's still great. And the man can play a guitar. J was thrilled that he was "eye-level with Lucille" and only about 10 ft from ( Read more... )

Well, I don't know about you, but J and I went to a Great Big Sea concert for St. Patrick's Day. It was so much fun. Everyone at their concerts get so into it. Unfortunately, they didn't play my favorite song, but I'll get over it. There's just nothing like the energy at a good concert like that.
