UW Alumni

College Graduate: Check, now if only I didn't have to student teach for 4 more weeks.

Graduation weekend was a lovely time. I took a half day on Friday and hit up the zoo with Kasey, Chris, and Jackson. Jackson was not interested in the animals, but the people really kept his interest up. Friday evening we dined at Red Robin yummm. I consumed far too much protein and sodium for the average person, but it's ok because I'm leaving this land of the free and saturated fat soon enough. I enjoyed the hot tub and pool with the family at the Days Inn and called it an early night. Saturday morning was an early event with the ceremony beginning at 10 am. After the show, we had a little shindig at Erin's house with a few of the cohort members. Fun was had by all, more fun by the people drinking copious amounts, but fun all around. After a little break in the action for some hot tub time at the hotel, I reunited with some friends to hit the town on graduation night. There were too many lines and people for my taste, but I probably won't graduate again, so it's a good thing I went out.

Now, I have a day to recover from the fun. I have a long run to do, a moped to sell, laundry to get done, and lesson plans to plan.

I am truly blessed with a wonderful family and fantastic friends.

On Wisconsin!

Perspective

It's amazing how moving to India gives me a whole new perspective.

Examples:

Man I really like those neon yellow shorts. Oh that's right, I can't wear shorts that short in India.

I should really eat less cheese. Nah, I gotta get my fix in now before I find myself in the mountains begging for a cheese curd.

It's so windy running by the lake. I better run around every lake I can before I ship out.

I should start to follow cricket, so I can be hip and with it when I get to India. I think I'll have plenty of time once I get there. I'll go watch the Mallards and have a beer instead.

I NEED TO ENJOY AMERICA BEFORE I CAN'T ANYMORE.
