It seems it's always the crazy times...


Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho



I got my grades today for my last semester of my undergraduate career. It's pretty much incredible. I'm getting excited about graduating and moving on. I'm not sure it all has set in yet what that really means, but we'll see.

I never really realised how incredibly hard it is to find a good apartment/condo in a college town. I didn't think that there are going to be tons of places out there that are overcharging for what they offer and don't do upkeep because they know it's for college students that won't care. Hopefully it'll work out...things generally do. I've noticed that things are hard and difficult, but with some extra effort and some faith things seem to work out really well.

I also am apparently going to get a graduation present from Maggie today and another tomorrow. I'm very curious to see how this comes out since I have no idea what it is and she's being quite secretive.

dis, est-ce que tu dors?






So...I'm bored.

I've got six more days of nothing to do but pack until I attend my graduation ceremony. I really need to find something productive to do with my time other than watching movies and sleeping. That's all I seem to be doing nowadays.

Countdown: T-9 days and counting.



Halloween 2004 - Clara Bowl - Berry College




So here we are. I'm sitting here at my desk writing this blog entry just after finishing my final class of my undergraduate career. That's it. No more lectures or note-taking or final exams for me at Berry College. I'm done. I'M DONE!

Man, that feels good.

Granted, I still have to write two more pages of my thesis and run over it all a few times to check for grammar/spelling/dumb mistakes. That's the problem when you write a paper in a foreign language...there are only so many people who can check it for you. Anyway, that's due in approximately twenty-seven hours. That's really all I have left to do, though. Then it's smooth sailing until I graduate on Saturday 5 May.

Wow. It's been a crazy four years: Hippie roommate, new best friends, nerd ball, late night pool, wine and cheese nights, Kufunninupuhs, outdoor movies, treks up to mountain campus, the gallons of coffee, the 'free' lucky charms in d-hall, learning how to follow and break the rules, sleeping on the roof of the chapel, sneaking into buildings, yarning buildings, sophomore pranks, 'coffee' parties, the Irish Pub, the Alley, Racquetball, the double-late-nighter for ESOL, crazy professors, crazy bosses, crazy friends, friends getting engaged, friends getting married, New Jersey, Connecticut, Nebraska, Chattanooga, New York, Seattle, Walla Walla, Paris, Nice, Strasbourg, Benalla, Melbourne, Sydney, Hamilton, Euroa, Spokane, Cheney, Tybee Island, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, Saint Petersburg, Bangor, Bar Harbor, Boston, Newport, Allentown, Calais, Toronto, Detroit, Saint Andrews, LAX, PHX, ATL, CDG, IAD, GEG, MEL, SYD, TPA, DTW, SLC, late-night talks, late-night walks, swimming in the reservoir, birthday cookouts, end-of-year dinners, anger, frustration, exams, love, friendship, and so much more. All of that embodies parts of my four years here.

Craziness.

Who knows what the next four years will be like....
