the first week

to the tune of: Your Name Never Gone by Chemistry

Commencement oh yes, it's the weekend. Which means it's time for some long-overdue updating. Firstly, new Commencement pics are finally up, featuring the Wacky Walk and other such lapses in the academic decorum an occasion such as Commencement demands. I can't imagine serious processionals on the East Coast, like the one my high school did. (Random fact: today I noticed some other Novi HS alum added herself to the orkut community. That makes five--count 'em, five of us...)

I suppose it's worth mentioning how I spent that day. Lots of fountain hopping, since it turns out black robes aren't so good in the heat. Our Wacky Walk was dance, naturally; we staked out a circle on the field and just started dancing. Needless to say the robes started coming off immediately. Before long we were a landmark, and grads on cell phones were telling parents they were next to us.

I could have gone to the CS ceremony, but then 2.5 hours in the heat (no shade) in black didn't sound fun. So I went to the much shorter English ceremony to watch a few friends graduate and proceeded to mooch food off the English, Asian Studies, and CS department luncheons in turn. Ah, yes, thinking like a grad student already...

Sunset at RainsThe move Monday was exhausting and hectic, and definitely took much longer than expected. But we had two cars and six people so it could have been much worse. We didn't quite make it out by the, ah, deadlines, but we still managed to get all our stuff here somehow. And at the end of the day, we were rewarded with this awesome sunset.

We made this cool time-lapse animation (350K) of our living room that night.

And now we have a grill...mmm... grilling... anyone have any ideas for cookouts?
