Man, Peggy S’s such a slave-​driver. She threat­ened to never talk to me until I update. So now I guess I have to. But what to write about? I guess I’ll cover Sunday…

Hmm… woke up at 7. Hopped online to find that Peggy S was still up. She had pulled another all-​nighter and had just fin­ished her project. I told her to take a nap before Amber W’s grad­u­a­tion, but she insisted on stay­ing up to make a poster for her, too. Got ready for my long day and bummed around online, because my mom was going to stop by on the way to tak­ing my sis­ter to the air­port to give me my ticket and talk to me about some fam­ily stuff.

Fin­ished up the fam­ily busi­ness at 10:30, and hur­ried to Kinko’s to print out my project. I noticed that the printer they have there is the same exact one my dad has at home home. Too bad I didn’t have time to go home and print it myself. Any­ways, he told me the pic­tures were a bit pix­e­lated, so I ran home and tried to touch it up as best I could. Got back there and gave him a higher res­o­lu­tion form of the project, and he told me it would be done by 1:30. It was 11:45.

I hur­ried over to cam­pus, hop­ing I could still make it to get a pic­ture with Amber W out on the lawn after she walked. Got a great park­ing spot and ran around the Pavil­ion a cou­ple of times, but didn’t see any­one I knew, so went to Hunan’s. Saw Peggy S and Jackie H drive off as I made the turn out of the park­ing lot, so I knew I made the right call. Stalked them all the way down­town. Lunch was cool, except I don’t think Amber W’s mom is par­tic­u­larly into Chi­nese food. And pos­si­bly was over­whelmed by the Asian in her life.

After lunch, went back to Kinko’s and added my project to Peggy S’s. Then we went to Jackie H’s to pass out for a bit, since we couldn’t get into the actu­ally 2 PM grad­u­a­tion cer­e­mony. Went after, though to take pic­tures out­side again. Met Kitty K’s fam­ily. The genes are strong. Just like Jenny L’s fam­ily. Peggy S gave her project to Thuong T and went home. :neutral:

A bunch of us went to Dos Coy­otes and Coldstone’s after. Alice C, Drew M, Jackie H, Jen L, and I split an Ulti­mate Bucket. aBB man­aged to dis­turb small chil­dren the vicin­ity with her dirtiness.

“Oh no, I got creamy white stuff on myself!”

- Alice C.

“Uh… do you real­ize what you said?”

- Us.

“No, not at all. Now I’m putting these yummy nuts in my mouth!”

- Alice C.

“Good lord!”

- Us.

Moth­ers were quickly drag­ging their infants away from earshot. We went our sep­a­rate ways after we killed the bucket… I went with Alice C to 49er video so she could use my account to rent some movies, and then I went home. Tried to cheer up Peggy S for a bit, but it didn’t seem to work. Ran­dom stuff online.

Some peo­ple went to see Bat­man, but I was too tired, and didn’t feel like pay­ing full price again. Ended up tak­ing a nap that lasted until 1:45 in the morn­ing. Talked online some more. Finally passed out for good around 4:30.

Tell Me I'm Wrong

I’m bored and broke. What to do? Hmm… sounds like post­ing time! :)

Woke up at 5:30 on Sat­ur­day because Kinko’s opens at 6, and I was going to get ready for my day and then go over there to print out my project. Peggy S wasn’t done with hers, though, despite the fact that she had stayed up until 5 AM work­ing on it and passed out unwill­ingly. She was sup­posed to take Ian R to the air­port, too, but I made her take a nap before Thuong T’s grad­u­a­tion, and took him myself, instead.

Got back and made sure every­one in my car was going to be ready, then Diana Pai came over, and we picked up Amber W and Peggy S and headed to cam­pus. The cer­e­mony was… eh. Speak­ers could have been bet­ter. But we can’t all get Wear Sun­screen. Thanks again to Kitty K for the ticket! Con­grats to Jeremy J, Linh N, Kee­gan K, Thuong T, Jenny L, Bao N, Alice W… I’m sure I’m for­get­ting a bunch of folks. It was the first grad­u­a­tion I had actu­ally gone to this year, and it made me sad to see so many friends leav­ing. Espe­cially folks I knew from high school and the dorms. Oh well. Next year. Or maybe the year after… :neutral:

After the oblig­a­tory pic­ture tak­ing for days out­side, went to Thuong T’s grad­u­a­tion lunch at Davis Noo­dle City. We seri­ously took over the place… I think APhiO had every seat in the house. The food, though… I think I could have made it bet­ter myself. And that’s say­ing a lot. But hey, I tried a new place in town, and now I know. After that, headed over to Chap­ar­ral for Alice W’s BBQ. I was pretty full, so only had a slice of cheese­cake. And then a slice of the rasp­berry choco­late mousse cake that Jen L, TJ Y, and Aywon N got for Thuong T. Played ball in the street with Mike O for a bit, but it was windy. And I hit a car. (The balls are foam, so noth­ing hap­pened, though.)

Was kinda sleepy, so I went home and took a nap. Talked online for days after that. Wrote a cou­ple of posts in between dis­tract­ing Peggy S from fin­ish­ing her project. She mocked my non-​existant love life that I men­tioned in my bit­ter post. And made ran­dom racist comments -

“My back hurts. I wasn’t sit­ting right, I guess. :( ”

- Peggy S.

“Aw… you need a back brace or something.”

- Me.

“Ew, no! That’s what my dad uses. And the Mex­i­cans that work at Home Depot.”

- Peggy S.

“Why you gotta be racist? Every­one who works at Home Depot has a weight belt.”

- Me.

“And the Mex­i­cans have it more!”

- Peggy S.

I still don’t get what she means by that. That girl… :shakes head:

Any­ways, passed out around 3:30.

Dammit, so lazy to post. I just want to sleep. Stu­pid sick­ness. But I got to, before my mem­ory fades…

So yeah… Sun­day… woke up at 3 in the morn­ing. Got ready. Called up the peo­ple in my car. Genie was going to meet me at TOPS because she wanted to fin­ish up the movie she was watch­ing, so I went to get some gas, since I had been rid­ing the empty and wasn’t sure I had enough gas to even pick up peo­ple in town. Unfor­tu­nately, all the gas sta­tions in North Davis are closed at 3 AM. Well, at least to cash cus­tomers. Went to pick up Deb­bie, and then stopped at the ARCO by cam­pus and got a lit­tle bit of gas to get me by. Picked up Everett from his place. Showed up at TOPS at exactly 4, the time we were sup­posed to be leav­ing. I was the the fourth car there. And yes, we were tak­ing more than four cars. Talked to Michelle and asked her to clear out my car if pos­si­ble, since I didn’t want to drive the gas guz­zler all the way to Frisco and deal with traf­fic and park­ing. She was nice, and let us split. The other cars came. We left TOPS around 4:30.

The ride there was unevent­ful. Mostly because as hard as I tried to stay up, I knocked out for most of it. Sorry, Don­ald! But at least Jenny L was there to keep you company.

The project itself wasn’t what I expected. I thought at first that we would have have cam­eras and kinda take action shots as peo­ple crossed the fin­ish line. Actu­ally, when we got there, we helped set up back­drops, and then some of us got paired up with pho­tog­ra­phers, and we were basi­cally sup­posed to grab run­ners and get them to take their pic­tures and man­age the line, so all the pho­tog­ra­pher would have to do is stand and click. It wasn’t bad, except for the fact that I was stand­ing on my feet for about seven hours. We were all com­par­ing sor­rows at the project -

“I’m hella tired. I woke up at 3.”

- Me.

“We went to sleep at 4 and woke up at 4:30 to come here.”

- Bran­don.

I guess that defeats the pur­pose of com­ing to the Bay early. Or does it? ;)

Oh yeah, orig­i­nally I was paired up with this cool old guy named Sal, and I found out he was actu­ally an IPhi alum­nus! Actu­aly, Miyama and I were both paired with him for some rea­son, so later they asked for some­one to go work with another pho­tog­ra­pher who didn’t have a part­ner, and I had to switch.

After that, we went to eat at Phở Hoa Hiep, or Kevin’s Noo­dle House. I love how that’s the Eng­lish trans­la­tion. :) Got a phở dac biet bo vien. It was sur­pris­ingly good. The broth was much bet­ter than the Hoa Viet crap I’m used to now. It was actu­ally clear, for one thing. After lunch, went with Alice C to get dim sum to go down the street, got food from Becca’s, dropped off Tina, and then back to Davis we went. Alice C was really tired, so I drove her car back. :twisted:

Got back basi­cally just in time for the pledge meet­ing. It was pretty short. Mostly, “fin­ish your reqs by Tues­day, bitches!” SNR was at IHOP, but I was so tired, I just went home and passed out.

Oh yeah… it driz­zled early in the morn­ing at the project. I think that’s why I’m sick now. Any­ways, I’ll catch up in post­ing tomor­row. It’ll be a long day of get­ting chores done for me.
