WEDNESDAY: The night before graduation was our last party as college students, and it was a perfect way to end the last four years. We toasted champagne and had a frienaissance moment, because this was one of the first parties I went to with this particular group of friends. I gave people Petrucci Mints, and fell off my bike on the way home.
THURSDAY: Despite my parents missing graduation due to some douchebag storm in the midwest, graduation was a lovely yet oddly anticlimactic experience. They didn't play the graduation song, and we didn't get to throw our hats in the air. My parents eventually did make it in, and we spent the night drinking and being merry, playing apples to apples, and sharing stories until we got too tired.
FRIDAY: My parents cooked a delicious Thai feast, and I basically sat and ate the entire day. My parents filled my fridge and I girl-chatted with my mom, and really enjoyed having other people at my house. I went out to Old Town that night and probably celebrated entirely too hard (oops), but in the end I made it home safe and sound.
SATURDAY: I woke up to more Thai food! Then went around and took cheesy ASU photos with the parents, since they missed my graduation. It was hot out, but really fun. We ditched official grad parties that night and got together at Ben's house, where we drank too much beer playing beer pong, and everyone probably got sick. Another frienaissance moment. We used to do this all the time.
SUNDAY: I was smart and planned ahead and said goodbye to my parents before leaving the night before, and good thing too because they were already on the plane halfway across America before I rubbed my eyes awake. I spent the day eating pizza and watching Arrested Development with Ben, and then cleaning out the last of our things from studio. It felt a lot like the post-breakup-and-now-returning-things kind of thing. Then we went to Molly's grad party at the Scottsdale Stadium for a bit, then I went to go see boyfriend, who is now in Barcelona. Jealous.
MONDAY: Woke up briefly to say goodbye to Mark, and because of a combination of sleepiness and sadness, it felt really informal. I don't think it sunk in that he'd be gone for three months until I woke up colder than usual and I didn't have any freckles to stare at while I woke up for real. Regardless, I woke up and went out to Rula Bula with friends, then to sleep because I was sad and lonely.
TUESDAY: Went on a windy bike ride, thrifting with Qian, and then watched Glee with her and Dan. We got mooned on the way back from Goodwill, by a group of dudes in a black Acura from Iowa. They called us "consumer whores" as they drove past, which I don't understand because we had just come from a charity shop and I didn't even buy anything.
WEDNESDAY: I don't think I did anything interesting, and if I did, I don't remember.
THURSDAY: I unsuccessfully tried to jump my car battery, and missed out on all of the errands I was supposed to run because my bike is not here and my car apparently hates me. I wallowed for a bit, being unemployed and stuck at home. I fished a chair out of the dumpster and have started to sand the finish off of it. I have big plans for this thing.
