Reflections from this mountain of wisdom.

I'm 22.

My dad and I went to LSU today to scope out apartments. I went on a tour of the law school and was very happy with everything that I saw. My trip to Costa Rica is coming up on Tuesday, so I'm really glad to have set my mind at ease today. Unfortunately, I'll have to get a menangitis vaccine, and I HATE SHOTS!

My birthday was pretty nice, rather quiet. Andrea, very very sweet ex-roommate, bought my lunch-- a nice juicy steak with blue cheese. I hung out with Ronia for almost the whole day.

Yesterday the family made me a nice pot roast dinner with mashed potatoes and peas the way I like 'em. There was also a great cake involved.

I know this is pretty boring stuff, but that's because I'm pretty short on dough right now and am hesitating to do anything fun that might make money disappear.

More later.

Notes from a 21-year-old

So, I've finally made my decision: LSU. For those of you who wanted me to go up north or stay in New Orleans, all I have to say is: thanks for your support, but I have to make my choices for myself. This was a really difficult decision, and I had to take into account all of the good advice as well as closely examine my own priorities. I think LSU will be awesome for me.

I graduated Saturday; that's the big news. It feels weird to think of myself as a college graduate, but that's what I am now. A big girl! And I'll be 22 tomorrow.

My final exams were pretty rough, mostly because of other problems occuring at the same time and a little bit of last minute sickness. But I managed to feel better for graduation, and I moved out of the dorms on Sunday without any problems.

I really enjoyed my years at Loyola, although I think all my part time jobs really got in the way of my making the best of it sometimes. Such is life.

Here's a pic of the big day. Hope all is well for everyone.
