I am contemplating the best means of sharing with you. I think I'll use the usual photo thing.
Jess was with us for Easter. Thought I'd share a cute easter picture with you really quick. Don't we all look fabulous?
Next we have my major awards (they didn't give me a leg lamp!). First there's dad with his fabulous girls. Mom will not be appearing in photos since, as usual, she is behind the camera. Mad props to mom.
We took advantage of a beautiful day on campus to take a few pictures. Clemson really is such a beautiful place. (see sam? the girls in Clemson ARE good looking...wait...those are your cousins. well, there are others...promise!)
Winner of a major award. Or two. The first was the Gilbert C. Robinson Award. It's an award for excellence in Ceramic Engineering and the ability to apply scientific principles in a laboratory setting. Essentially, it's an award where they say "hey, we think you have potential. we're telling you. now go and use it." I also received the Material Advantage Service Award (previously known by accident as the Laura Marie Burka Service Award) which is an award for service to the department. It was a busy day.
I had quite the fan club there for me. It seems that I'm quite popular. Among a very small crowd, of course...
There was an Orange & White game. It actually came before the award thing, but this is my blog and I can post pictures in whatever order I want. Jess and Becca and I went to that for a little while. We were supposed to look unhappy because Chris couldn't be there. Or something like that. He was taking his big test, so he had to miss all the fun.
We also went and got funnel cakes with David. There was a big festival with a carnival and everything and I had a craving for something bad for me. So we got a ginormous funnel cake.
Keramos seniors! We had our Keramos (the ceramics honor fraternity) initiation the other night. We actually had a good number of people there. But yeah, John and Mark and I are graduating (I know, you're very sad).
The whole group. We had four initiates, so most of this group is officers and members. The new officers are all girls. Except Alex. I think he planned it that way.
Jess and Stephanie sat across from me at trivia night. We always go to trivia after initiation. Our team name is the Porcelain Gods. We actually got second place this time. Yay for us! It's the best place in the history of Keramos going to trivia night. I think. We got a gift certificate which will be going into the pool to help pay for trivia next time there's an initiation, and we got a t-shirt, which will be going into the glass case in the hallway of our building.
I hope you're ready to see more of these people, because we have a picnic tonight. I'm going to Jenna's shower after that (yay!), then it's a nice slow weekend of working on projects. woo.

Hey Laura...I finally looked at your blog again and I was pleasantly surprised to see all the news and the pictures...Thanks!
But people are beginning to avoid me because I want to talk about my grandchildren. They think I am bragging, but it's just the facts, mam...
