so i’m in atlanta. heh. that should explain the lack of entries over the past few days. get me away from my computer, and i don’t update. here’s the recap:
i’m having a nice time here, a really nice time. i arrived thursday afternoon and was met at the airport by a sign saying “beavers and ducks,” kermit the frog, and oh yeah–christina in a graduation cap, kent in a graduation gown, and carter holding the sign. it was quite funny. i spent that evening with christina, kent, chris and my sister, and spent my last night in christina’s apartment. friday christina was off to spend time with her family, and i met up with kent and carter for a matinee of spiderman. it was quite good, i’d see it again. i wanna be spiderman. i wanna be able to swing from place to place.
that evening we had dinner with james at fellini’s, and katie, kent, james and i headed to kent’s apartment to play super smash brothers. i was quite excited to win a game, until i found out that kent had let us win. ha. he was really good. he beat me, katie, and the computer, 1-on-3. it was funny.
yesterday was graduation, which was marked by the high points of seeing chris, christina, courtney, and jen walk across the stage, and then see the power go out and the coliseum go dark. afterwards, carter and i had lunch with my parents and katie, then headed to the big graduation party. i had a really nice time there, seeing people i haven’t seen in a while and just watching everyone enjoy themselves. last night we even got to go to j.r.’s apartment complex, which backed up to the 99x stage at music midtown, so we got to watch the counting crows (from a distance, but still cool)! after that we had a late dinner at apres diem, and spent our last few hours in ulc 119. by then we were all exhausted, so it was bedtime.
i’m headed back to san francisco tomorrow night, but i must say, this weekend has exceeded all expectations. i was worried about being in the way of the graduates, but that turned out not to be a problem, and instead, i have gotten to spend time with some of my very best friends. it’s funny to think that it has been a whole year now since i graduated…it seems to have gone by in a blink. (we’ve got to leave now, so i’ll have to finish this thought later.)
