two good things happened yesterday: 1. i graduated from college, and 2. the spurs won the nba championships! so about the spurs.. just kidding... graduation.. yeah, that was yesterday. what a day. well no, not really. i have mixed feelings. it was fun, yet also somewhat anticlimatic. it was nothing like high school, that's for sure. high school was bittersweet.. there were sentimental memories and a sadness at leaving... college.. not so much of that. there was some slight reflection of accomplishment and a quick thought about how only 1% of the world's population has a college education, yet also how as special as that is, so much of that 1% in this country that it doesn't even matter that much, but mostly graduation was a formality. it was kinda fun and it was nice to take pictures afterwards, but there was no feeling of not wanting the moment to end because it meant the end of something bigger. i dunno, i guess i can't explain it all that well.. it was just.. different... but now that it's over i can say that all the stress it caused me was for nothing.. as with most of my stressing.. (maybe that should tell me something...)
half of my family is still here because they had car trouble and much to their (and my) dismay it still isn't fixed yet. they're here at least one more day. i love my family but it's very different to have them down here and mixing in with the college life. it's one of those worlds mixing thing but on a completely different scale. family is always a bit of a crap shoot. but i love 'em. they're great.
i packed up a crap load of stuff today to be taken back home. sadly, i still have a crap load of stuff. i knew i had a lot of stuff but this seems a little ridiculous. how did i get it all? what have i been doing with it?? i guess two years is a fair amount of time to accumulate stuff.. but i dunno.. seems like no matter how much i pack it doesn't go away. like it's coming out from the walls or something. moving home for good is a rather daunting task. the bad part about packing up is that now my room is even messier. i haven't had much of a chance to clean since finals and stuff and now it's even worse. i don't like that. although i suppose i could be using this time to clean up. but there is more packing to come so i think i'll hold off for just a bit..... time to watch a movie because pat is stealing my internet to play dota.... (he is weak.. what a sucker..)
