I wore a skirt or capri pants all weekend, because my legs hadn't seen the sun all week. Thank goodness we're going to the beach in 2 weeks!
Picking up where I left off...
I went home and generally chilled for a few days, then I came back to Clemson on Tuesday and cleaned and put away my laundry. That Tuesday night, I took Julie and Rachel to Olive Garden for dinner and gave them their graduation presents which, (correct me if i'm wrong...) they loved. On Wednesday, we went to Commerce to do some shopping. The general goal was to find them dresses for graduation. Of course, we found plenty of other things while we were there (hehe).
Thursday, I started work out at the AMRL. It was a very long day, as we had a 3.5 hour meeting and a cookout after work.
Friday, I worked until lunchtime, then went home and headed to graduation. Emily and I made signs and heckled because our seats were behind the stage where Julie and Rachel could see us.
After graduation, I got to ride with Julie's grandparents (which was quite amusing) out to the restaurant (el something) where all umpteen of us had dinner. Then we proceeded to take about a million pictures of ourselves.
Olivia and I had a slumber party on Friday night. Yay!
I headed home on Saturday cause Sunday was Mothers' Day. Amy and I prepared lunch for mom, including half a red velvet cake. (hehe. it's so easy to take credit) We then carried on our mothers' day tradition of going to the mercy center and serving dinner.
Monday was work, Tuesday was work, Wednesday was work, Thursday was work, Friday was work. But, Friday was pizza day at work. My car decided to start making crazy noises on Monday. Sounded a lot like brakes, but dad kept sending me under the car to check and see if it really was the brakes before he tried to get the car into the shop. It finally came down to Matt and I removing the tires from the car and looking at the brakes that way, because you couldn't see anything from under the car. We discovered, in scientific terms, that the round shiny thing wasn't shiny all the way to the edge on the left rear. It was, in fact, scraped all the way around, about 1/4 inch thick. Anyway, I'm driving Snowflake this week while the Vorvo gets his feet fixed.
This weekend was Amy's senior sunday at church, so we spent Saturday morning decorating for it, then Saturday afternoon at the mall with Regan, picking out a dress for the occasion. I also gave Amy her video this weekend. I'm pretty sure she liked it.
Today we'll be leaving work a bit early and heading to the lake to go swimming. Yay! Way fun. I don't know where yet. Doesn't really matter.
Lunchtime!
I'll add pictures later. The internet's being screwy.

Today is Saturday and I am finally done with exams. The meeting I mentioned in my last post went well. It was with our department head about the possibility of doing research this summer. I'm going to be working with her team at the AMRL for the summer, mostly being trained for all the different stuff they do, then I'll get to work on a real project starting in the fall. So that's cool cause I'll have something for the next year. It's work with glass, which is cool, so yay! I have a few days to chill until I start working on Thursday. That'll be nice to have a break. This picture is of a cake Olivia and I made the other day. We wanted both frostings, so it looks like a life preserver.
Exams went pretty well. I thankfully got a C in Dr. Rack's class (before anyone gets the wrong idea, it was one of those classes where you'd be pretty lucky to pass), don't really know my grades in the other classes yet. A in two of them so far. The week was annoying as I didn't have much to do until Tuesday. Tuesday I studied all morning then went out to the labs to visit and meet everyone. I came back and went to dinner with Olivia and Paul.
I was trying to hid the fact that I was chewing in that picture. 
I gave up on studying at around 9:30, then went downstairs to hang out. Went to bed at 11 and got up at 3 am to go to the library with Paul to study and to visit Matt, who had announced (in a really really hyper way) that he was pulling an all-nighter. I studied quite hard, and (around 5 am) found that I started to understand the way Dr. Rack's mind works. Took the final and headed home to shower and relax for a while. Dad came up and took me for a drive in the car that evening, then I went over to the guys' to hang out for Marsh and Kevin's last night in Clemson. Rather amusing evening. Lots of dancing. Oh, and Baldo found a break-up box in the closet from like 5 years ago or something. Pretty crazy letter in it. Kinda fun. Thursday I went to work. BD gave me this picture. Aren't I cute?!? 
Went to Target. Hung out with Julie and Rachel for a while. Went to see Spiderman 3 at midnight and it was awesome!
Friday I went to work, then did some speech studying with the freshman. Then it was dinner and Elton John with Julie.
Yes, we are old ladies. We went to see Sir EJ in concert. It was awesome. He's adorable. 
I've been listening to his music since then. woooooo!
Got up this morning and got coffee and a muffin before I went over to the Paul's to do a marathon review for the speech final that we had at 1 this afternoon. We ran some errands and ate some lunch after it, then I came over here to Julie's where we watched ANTM, then went to Bloom. Now we're watching tv (How to lose a guy in 10 days, TMNT, X-Men, Lord of the Rings...) and eating bread and chips and queso and frosting and I might go make some tea in a minute. Chai. We are basically being total bums for the evening. We're having a slumber party. Her brother left today for Iraq for the next year and a half or so. I'll probably get up in the morning and take a shower at home before I go to church with Julie. After that, I'll be packing up some stuff to take home for the summer. I'll be living in Clemson for the summer but I need to take stuff home to get it out of the way. I'll probably stay home until Tuesday morning when I'll pack up mom's bike in my car and bring it back here. Gonna go eat queso...
Laters!
