Well so it goes, the ebb and flow; happiness was never us.

It's time for changes, endings, and new beginnings.

Julie and Lauren graduate tomorrow. I remember my graduation as feeling very surreal. I didn't really believe that college was over. I kept thinking that someone was going to find me and pull me from the ceremony, saying, "Kristin, you didn't take that math class you were supposed to take! I'm sorry, but you cannot graduate". I still have dreams about it to this day.

I also remember being more excited than sad. I had a lot to look forward to. And I was ready to leave Cal Poly behind (although I do miss it sometimes). I was excited to move back to New York. My best friends were (and still are) there.

No regrets, I'm still very glad to be here. Even with everything (I wont need to move to California this time to deal). I'm right where I need to be, for a while.

But I digress. What I really want to say is CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN AND JULIE! I love you both and am so happy/excited for you. (And Lauren, I have my fingers crossed that things will work out and you will stay in NY. It would not be the same without you).

Happy Graduation.

5 things, 3 sub-points, and a comment

1)It's rainy, but I don't mind. Except I need new rainboots.

2)Every now and then, phrases like "Don't give up" and "Don't be a quitter" are not the right answers. Or the wise ones. But that is not intuitive to me. Never give up, never surrender is more my style. Don't jump the ship. Don't make waves. Ride out the storm. (Maybe I am supposed to be a sea-woman. Or a pirate).

3)I am moving to a shared window office tomorrow. That will be a nice change. Natural light is good for the soul.

4)I saw a show last night, and it was good, but it mostly made me even more excited to see Conor in July.

5)July is my month to look forward to:
a. New Haven, Connecticut to see Conor Oberst
b. Kansas City, Missouri for Tessa (and Heath's) wedding
c. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Could it be any more luscious?

A couple days ago it was ridiculously hot and sunny, but today it is gloomy and cold. I prefer it this way; it is seasonally appropriate. I become unsettled when things act in a way they are not supposed to.

I registered for my first psychology class today! Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 to 8:40. I didn't get into the program I wanted, but I adjusted and found another way (I am nothing if not adjustable).

I am looking forward to taking the class, but I am already sad about what I will have to give up. Namely, Wednesdays sculpt class with Roxanne. Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week. Katie and I go to the gym, get our butts kicked at sculpt, then I watch Katie and Elliott while they make dinner (I feebly help every now and then) and we all watch LOST together. But LOST is ending soon anyways and I bet I can get Katie to invite me over another day of the week (she's nice like that). So the only thing I will be missing is the gym. But I can't neglect my future so I can get rock hard assets with Roxanne.

That's always been my philosophy, anyway.
