DONE DONE DONE!!!!! Done with finals, done with graduation, and done taking pictures with campus landmarks. Not done writing thank-you notes, but that should be soon!

For those interested, graduation was.... well, a bit boring to be honest. The main ceremony with all 6700 graduates was quite long and the part concerning the graduates (standing as our college name is called, tossing our tassels) was just a couple minutes at the very end. I did enjoy walking into the Comcast Center to Pomp & Circumstance (seems like just yesterday I was doing it in HS) and seeing myself broadcast on the Jumbotron! The business school graduation was a similar length, as calling 700 students' names (undergrad AND graduate degrees) takes a while.


Now on to my list of real world tasks: registering my car in VA, getting new auto insurance, filling out preliminary job paperwork, and finishing moving into my apartment. Whew.
