May 6, 2008 - Things on Tuesday

Wag of the finger:

• Ongoing construction outside my house.  Booooo pile drivers. 
  
• Gas prices.  It makes just going back and forth from Virginia Beach (not to mention trips to Richmond) a strain on the bank account.
  
• Petty family drama.  Apparently members of my family are backing out of coming to graduation because they can't suck up their pride for a few hours to celebrate the fact that I'm graduating college (finally).  It's kind of sad.
  
• Custody of my sister's kids is going to be decided next week.  We're hoping that they'll stay with mom. 
  
• Packing sucks.
  

Tip of the hat:

• Tuesday was my birthday!!!!  I came back from running errands to see that my roommates had decorated my door not only for my birthday, but also for graduation:
  

• Graduation is on Saturday!  WHEE!  Five years, three colleges, and entirely too much debt, but it was so worth it in the end.
  
• With four of my five classes reporting grades, the lowest one that I have so far this semester is a B.  My GPA is sitting at a 3.5 right now.  As long as my last grade isn't below a B, I'm going to graduate with a GPA over 3.0! 
  
• The weather's finally starting to get pretty and STAY that way. Whoo-hoo, winter is over!
  
• And finally, Jeff and Ted and I had entirely too much fun last night at Red Dog.  I'm glad I have friends that I can be this moronic with.
