So I'm graduated now. Like a graduated cylinder. The ceremony was fun, well, as fun as they can be I guess. I thought I was going to pass out for a while when we were all lining up before we walked in, because it was really hot and I hadn't had anything to eat or drink yet that day, but I ended up being fine. It was really fun sitting with all my math friends (it was very sad that Sean was sitting with his other major instead of math, otherwise all 6 of us from ACal II would have been together). It's really weird being done though.
Stephen gave me a really nice little graduation party. He made some delicious fish tacos and bbq chicken. The devilled eggs were the most beautiful ones I'd ever made! Also, Laura gave me a karaoke machine so we sang the night away! It's just too bad we didn't find a use for Katie's present, because I'm sure we would have had even more fun then ;)
Sunday was my mom's birthday, as well as mother's day, which I hope you all remembered! Laura's friend Aaron drove up from Houston. We all took my mom out for lunch at Olive Garden after church, and then we uh.... did some other stuff? Oh! Laura and I made mom and awesome volcano cake!
Laura went home yesterday, but she will be back soon. I hope I get a call from MCS soon!

Birthday Today
Today is Laura's birthday, she is 25. Happy Birthday. She ate shrimp all day. That is somewhat of a generalization...
My brother is here now. I haven't seen him yet though.
Stephen had a Cinco de Mayo party today. It was fun.
My German exam was this morning. It was OK.
My eye allergies were so bad today that I spent maybe as much as half of the day feeling miserable. Also my nose is really runny.

Easter, jobs and our stupid lease
It's been too long since I've updated, and it seems like lots and lots of stuff has happened. So much stuff in fact, that I feel the need to make a brief outline before I start. I will spare you though and get right into it.
Last week was a short week, which is always awesome. Instead of the 4 day week everyone had, mine was only 3 since I don't have class on Thursdays. No class on Thursdays is awesome until you realize that Dia del oso is just a regular old Thursday for you. Oh well. Also, I got an 85 on that math test I mentioned. I'm cautiously optimistic that I may get a B+ in ACal II!
Friday morning I drove up to Dallas with Mom and Becky to visit the Hawkins (That would be my Aunt Kathy, Uncle Jeff, and cousins Andy, Alex, and Emily). Andy wasn't there since he goes to a heathen university and so he didn't have Friday off, and although we admire him for opting not to skip any classes we decided that in the long run, coming home and going to church with your family is more important than school. You should remember that next time Andrew Thomas! Anyways, it was fine that he didn't come because Aunt Becky was there instead. We went shopping on Friday, and I got some cute new tops, and then we came home for church. First we had a super delicious brisket, from Aunt Becky's recipe, along with a bunch of other tasty sides. Aunt Kathy had to wait till after church to eat, though, because she had to go play handbells. I think that is a sign that handbells must be no good, since they force you to skip meals. Saturday we did more shopping. Wait! I just remembered the most exciting part. So first of all it ended up getting really cold on Saturday and would you believe it! It started snowing! We didn't actually see any in Dallas but we ran into a little on our drive home. Anyways, we drove up to the outlet mall in Allen, mostly so we could drive through Plano and take a quick look at it. More on why we'd want to do that next, but anyways... At the outlet mall I got some cute shoes, a skirt and a purse. Fun fun fun!
So, here's the important news, I guess. I don't know how much you already know leading up to this situation, but it all started when Laura told us her company was opening up an office in Dallas (which turned out to be Plano, but whatever same thing) and that she might be transferring there. Then the other day I got a call from her saying that she was for sure going to be moving out here, within 45-60 days in fact! I'd been thinking about trying to get a job with her company for a while now but never really made up my mind one way or the other, but now I've finally decided. I'm sending in my resume as soon as I get it updated, and hopefully will get a position. The idea is that Laura, Heather (Laura's good friend from work, also transferring out here) and I will get a place together in Plano. So there you have it. I actually have some sort of plan for after graduation. I hope it all works out ok.
Now for some less than stellar news. Katie, Kristen and I just recently realized that our lease runs through July 31st instead of May like we thought. We were under the impression that it was a 10 month lease, but I guess this is a lesson (a very unpleasant lesson) for us in reading more carefully what you're signing. So now we are trying to find some summer subleasers. I hope we can find some.
Finally, today is the 11th, which means Stephen and I have been going out for 5 months now. Awwww.
