もう卒業したけど、まだリラックスしていません
so yeah, i finally graduated (was on Friday). parents & my tia flor were able to come and watch me get my diploma. was fun, went to a number of restaurants and did the trolley tour thing. unfortunately joe had to go out of town on Sunday for work. he's still over there, and won't be back till Sat morning, which *sucks* since it's so close to moving day (less than 2 weeks away). eek.
and just because i'm done with thesis etc doesn't mean i'm chillin' out--in fact, soon after the thesis was turned in things have gotten even more hectic! the morning after turning in my thesis, we got on a plane to Maui (ok, that trip *was* somewhat relaxing & fun, but it was only 4 days and there were a few stressful things about it, including the really long flights, having to deal with a dead car battery on our rental car, getting sunburned--but i digress). and the very day we got back from maui (the 30th) i got a bad cold, so i just stayed home for the next few days and worked on our wedding invitations (was a lot more work than I thought!) and rushed to cleaned up our apt. then my parents & aunt came, and there was the hooding ceremony & graduation etc. my parents left on monday afternoon, but after that it's not like i have gotten any time to chill. the past couple days I had to deal with a *ton* of stuff, mostly relating to our move to LA and wedding-related plans (of ALL the weeks Joe had to be out of town and basically unreachable, it HAD to be this one...) . i also had to get hardcopies of my thesis printed, and today i went to pick them up and realized that in all 8 copies there were a number of key graphs that were totally messed up in (despite giving them the PDF file which looked fine on their computer). Argh! I had to rush back and and ask for the CopyTech ppl to figure it out and fix it before rushing off to an appointment. Oh, and did I mention that I have a paper deadline on the 22nd (and we're moving out on the 25th!!) So, relaxing? Naw, it ain't happening yet! Maybe on our honeymoon....
