A quick Summary of Events.

So here I am at work just waiting until I can start my next cleaning assignment. And my co-worker hasn't shown up yet, but I don't really mind. Fridays aren't busy until after 9pm, there's a lot to do around here at night, but the afternoons are pretty chill. So California was great, we've narrowed down our options to three cities: West Covina, Pasadena and Downey. We found all the nice looking areas of town and found where metro stations are, both great things. Hopefully after our classes are over we can have the time to look for apartments, but Rick has training starting on September 8th and will be gone for about 6 weeks, and it wouldn't really be super fun to be in an apartment all alone for that time, so we'll see what happens.

Graduation was really great. It was fun to have both sets of parents in town, and to see my grandparents and my aunts, uncle and cousins. Thursday was commencement and it was alright, except for the fact that it snowed. But it was fun to do the processional into the Marriott Center and Elder Bednar gave a great talk. Early the next morning I had my convocation, which was pretty good, except for the 7:00am arrival time. But we got to do another processional, and this time I got a better seat. The student speaker was pretty good, and the professor who spoke also did an excellent job, he even did an amazing cow impersonation! Then the reading of the names and walking. It was long, but it was really fun to walk across the stage, hear my name, and get to shake hands with all the college big wigs. My friend from work was there and she said I had a little swagger across the stage, which I didn't do on purpose, but I think its cool. After that was over we all split up and I went home to take a much needed nap and Rick went to take a final. After that we all met up again for Rick's convocation which was alright, but by that time I was kind of done sitting through speakers etc. Rick had declared, on the bright side, that he was planning on leaving right after his name was called, which I think most of us were excited about. And they had the undergrads line up alphabetically, so Rick was very first after all the masters students. We then had to part ways with Steve and Cindy as they started their drive back home.

Since we got home from California I've been to my first day of my spring term class, and I definitely shouldn't have saved this one for last. It is a finance class and it, thus far, has been booooring. I know I shouldn't really judge until a little later, but I should have saved something good for last, like cultural geography or my survey of world religions class. Oh well, I'll just stick it out until the end of June and then be done! And I was happily surprised by my grades for winter term: 2 As and 3 Bs. I had a hard time focusing, so I'm glad they all turned out so well. Okay, well it is time for me to get back to work.
