I meant to post something meaningful yesterday after my last day of classes (probably) ever, but I just didn't.  So sue me.

I'm just a sentimental turd, I guess.  After my class ended yesterday, I got all sighy and weepy, but that might have been because I was signing a nice little gift we did for our IWA advisor and she is such a sweet lady.  She's almost been like a second mother to me while I've been at school and I got a little sad when I realized that I was going to be leaving her and all the girls in my IWA chapter.  But it's okay because I get thinking about all the things I get to do now that I'm graduating (in seven days!)  It's scary and it's exciting all at the same time.

I've had a big day today and it all started last night.  I went with my aforementioned IWA chapter on an end-of-year retreat to our advisor's place in Richmond (she has this huuuuge house on a little farm-type thing in the foothills complete with a cabin, forest and creek!) and none of us got to sleep until 4:00 am this morning.  Sugar+lots of hyper girls+improv games+"Night at the Museum" (instant classic, btw)=completely drained.  I felt bad for the few who had to get up early this morning, but I didn't have to be anywhere until 3:00 this afternoon, so I was good.  I spent the day packing up a few things and relaxing until...

Institute Graduation!  My parents made the drive up here to come see me graduate from Institute, which I really appreciated.  I also got to see my dad's new truck (squee!) A Ford F-350 Power Stroke very-lots-of-extended cab (backseat legroom in a pickup=totally made of win).  I'm not sure what year, but it's a beauty (I'm not going to lie - I'm in love ^_^) [and my roommate just walked out of the room and turned the light off leaving me in the dark with just my computer screen for light -- thanks... really] Anyway, it's was a nice little ceremony for the 350-some-odd folky-days who actually bothered to graduate from Institute.  I figure that I liked Institute more than actual college and I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can.  The single 1 1/2 hour ceremony today won't be as draining as the two 3 hour commencement and graduation hooplas next week.

After the ceremony, Mom and Dad took me to dinner at Olive Garden (a family tradition whenever they come up here).  We didn't talk about job stress for me much because I have a job interview on Monday in Salt Lake.  It's for a position as an Information Specialist with the State of Utah Environmental Quality.  I would be helping educate consumers, real estate developers and agents and helping promote radon testing and some other stuff that sounds pretty neat (well, to me, anyway).  I'm really hoping this job come through because I know exactly where that office is, it would get me out and about and it's centrally located to everywhere I want to be!  I'm hoping the interview goes well.

So, that was my day and now I'm extremely tired.  I could very well take a nap, but by the time I woke up, it would be time for bed, so maybe I'll just go to bed.  Whatever.

Whee!!! Utah State won in a nail-biter against Boise State last night!  And I actually got to storm the court this time!  I might have been on TV, but I don't know because my parents jinxed the game in the second half by turning on the TV and decided not to watch the rest of the game (feh...)  I'm pretty sure I was on TV because I ran right across the camera on my way down to a rousing rendition of a one-handed, mid-court Scotsman (I had to carry my coat).  My throat still hasn't recovered.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll be the topic of another blog down in the Wasatch Front saying how freakin' obnoxious Aggies fans are (just because we called George Karl's son a "daddy's boy"?  C'mon, he came to Utah to see a basketball game; he ought to know better, having been a coach in the NBA's Western Conference).

I was pretty sure we were going to lose, though.  Boise State could do no wrong (dang it).  They were hitting wild three-pointers and all their foul shots and getting rebounds.  On the other hand, we were... not.  I think it was right after the KJZZ broadcast showed that the Aggies win when Jaycee Carroll gets more than 20 points in a game that he started kicking it into high gear (can someone explain this to me: why is the big screen showing the TV broadcast of the game we are attending?  Is Larry H. not selling as many butt-ugly hybrid cars or whatever these days?)  That was when the game had about two minutes left and we were down by about eight points and Boise State was kicking our butts.  Some people were even leaving early (what's wrong? Don't you believe?)

Well, we won despite the really good Boise State team and the terrible officiating.  When one team have 5 fouls and the other has only 2, there is a problem.  But that's all I'll say about that.

Since, my one and only Friday class was canceled today (the one that I was stressing to get everything done for... bleah) and I'm leaving for some family deal this weekend, I'm going to try to get some homework done before I leave.

Love from,
