After much pressure from the Jen Mafia (thank you!), I finally emerge to make a blog post! Sorry - no pictures yet, but I do have some!

What has happened since the last post... Ouch - a lot actually!

First, exams. I blazed through my finals in a beautiful streak of glory. Maybe not beautiful, but I didn't sleep through any finals and I pulled the grades I was hoping for. The Discrete Math final actually turned out to be quite fun and entertaining, actually - logic puzzles and a couple challenging proofs. It felt like a game :)

Monday was my birthday and I celebrated with Calculus and some group projects. Hardly anybody knew it was my birthday, but when *somebody* found out near midnight, she pulled a small celebration together in a mere 10 minutes. It was fantastic just to celebrate a great friendship, toast to the future, and take a break from studying! THANK YOU! ...And sorry ;)

Coming down to the last day of finals, Michael Roth and I still hadn't finished our engineering final project (a small - but very packed - circuit board), so Wednesday afternoon we were pushing hard to finish. After ultimate Frisbee of course (gotta make sure to get priorities straight).

Janelle and I had been planning on contra dancing Wednesday night for quite a while and ALL our friends bailed on us at the last minute *insert guilt trip for Jen, Nate, Ashley*, but Michael was interested and so the three of us danced in the gazebo at Pioneer Park for an hour or so. It was quite a nice break from finals week and some excellent exercise. Big thanks to Janelle for driving, inviting me to come, and getting me involved in the first place. I miss her :(

Aaaanyways, finished up our project at midnight and then I was supposed to head out the next morning for Seattle airport to head home. I stayed up most of the night packing and cleaning my room and then caught a short nap. Instead of leaving at 10 am as planned, the guy I was riding with started packing at 10 and we didn't leave until 4:30pm. Tempting to complain about, but it was actually really cool because I had extra time to eat breakfast and lunch with Jen. It was sad, saying goodbye, but I wouldn't miss it! Chris and I finally left and I made it to the airport half an hour before my plane left and barely managed to get on.

Back in Georgia with my family, I had a few days to recover and pack for my summer travels. I also packed in a graduation party (for mum), a birthday party (I got a guitar - thanks Richie!), some youth group stuff, and two days of contract work doing circuit board layout. An excellent way to start the summer!!
