I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very good at updating this blog. Instead of updating constantly, I end up procrastinating and then I have to go and play catch up, which usually results in a super long entry with lots of random ramblings. So what has happened since mid April? Let's recap.
*LOST voice-over* Previously on An Unforeseeable Certainty...
ATS 2009! I came, I saw, I conquered. I had a lot of fun and while some of the lectures were boring, it was cool to experience a big conference and to see so many fellow nerds, geeks, dweebs, and spazzes. I finally got my conference/poster cherry popped. Double whammy! (Eww I just realized how gross that sounded...) Some pics from the trip are on FB so I won't bother posting them here.
With the graduation season upon us, it is quite common for one to start reflecting upon their lives and to wonder and question where the time has gone and what they have accomplished thus far. Since it has been exactly 2 years to the day since I’ve graduated, I’ve naturally been reflecting as well. This reflection was also spurred since my little sis graduated this past Saturday. And while sitting on the West field lawn listening to a rather boring and uninformative graduation speech (which was given by a prominent economics professor who used the venue as a way to promote her ideals about the correlations of outsourced jobs and economic despair…but I digress) I began to think about my own life and how far I’ve come since getting my own degree. I've come a long way in both my personal and professional life. It's weird to think about all the people who have come and gone in and out of my life over these two years, and I'm left to wonder what will happen in the next two to come.
Finally, parting words for the graduating class of 2009. Public bathrooms are gross. Double up on the toilet seat covers, because everyone knows one sheet isn't enough to save your ass (literally). Pajama bottoms are no longer an acceptable attire outside of the house. Give blood. Volunteer. Have fun. But most importantly:
Smile. Laugh. Love.
