sleep in thin tents, caked with dirt...

- We've been busy. I've not posted. Oops.
- I graduated this past Saturday. It was a nice ceremony, a bit boring but not as boring as it was hyped up to be. It was quite warm, I sweat a lot which turned out to be the story of the weekend. My parents, great Aunt Bobbie, and Miriam's parents all came for the ceremony which was really great. We grilled Saturday afternoon before the ceremony and had an overall good time.
- We left right after my graduation to drive up to my parent's house because Jane was graduating Sunday morning at 10am. Her ceremony was nice as well though a number of people were incredibly rude. Once they started announcing names people decided to get up whenever they wanted and talk as though they were the only people in the room. It's one thing to shout for your graduate, as I did for Jane, it's another to act as though your graduate is the only one who matters. I sweat through my shirt there something fierce, it was a bit gross. It was good for Miriam to see Hamilton as well.
- I found myself a bit nostalgic for Jane as she was leaving Hamilton given that I've had some good times there when she's been there. One of my favorite times was skipping half a week of class last year to go to a show at Hamilton and hang out for five days.
- We're planning on heading down to the Pine Barrens today for a hike which should be fun.
- I've been a bit hush-hush on the blog as we try to figure out what comes next. I can't say anything right now about where we're going to be but big news should be coming out soon, so get ready, check the blog frequently.

I witnessed some similar rudeness at my friends graduation that involved the overuse of an air horn. People suck sometimes right?
Congrats new grad!
