-Things I regret doing during college: Nothing

So grades have come out. I have now officially passed all my classes, requirements, everything. As of December 22, 2005, I am a college graduate.

Time has seriously flown by. I still remember my first day at CMU like it was yesterday. Geez.

So my GPA isn't awesome, but that's OK. I deserve what I got, I think (I tend to be a slacker). It's been a good run. It's hard for me to be all reflective and stuff now, since it doesn't really feel like I'm done. It just feels like winter break. Maybe it'll sink in later. What's weird is talking to people who are already out of school and working in the real world.

Went snowboarding in Vermont over Christmas break. It was a blast; I usually ski, but this time my sister and I decided to take boarding lessons. I should've started ages ago. SO MUCH FUN! I want to buy my own board now and go. Now I just gotta find people in NYC to go with next year... PS I recommend anyone who wants to learn how to board to take lessons. Learning on your own, while possible, is much more painful. Geez all the sports I'm interested in learning require a significant initial investment. Snowboarding, Golf, Tennis. What's up w/ that? I'm not even athletic. Why couldn't I choose to get interested in a club sport like basketball or something?

Anyways, here are some pictures from my last week as an undergraduate student.

Tony and I went to eat a nice fancy schmancy dinner on Mount Washington.


Interior of Monterrey Bay Grotto


Our kool looking dessert. Doesn't the chocolate look like steam??


Cept for the fact I look fat, this is a surprisingly good picture of Tony and me.

Afterward, we went to PHI Bar to celebrate the end of IS.

Here's StephFan prepping for her lemon drop with 2 packets of sugar on her tiny piece of lemon.


Tony, StephFan, and Me before our graduation shot.


StephFan after/during her shot. haha


Me and Dan in his usual 'kool' pose.


The two Fairfax roomies and myself. And the shocker.


I like this picture! Glen and Divya gazing into each other's eyes...


Jacek (my former teammate and fellow Wall Street PM), Myself, and Dan


Aww. Too bad I don't remember taking this picture.


Eugene, Mike, Jack, and myself. I'm practicing posing w/ the shocker. Takes me forever to position my fingers, cuz I'm so not used to it.


Kaki and me! What a cutie. Good dancer too. =)


Who's hand IS that??


My cultural buddy! Maybe I should call him my nerdy buddy cuz we're nerds together...



Someone had alittle fun w/ my camera... I have no idea who took those.


Here's the iceman. Not snowman, ICE. That's cuz they made this after the initial snowfall, so the snow wasn't powdery, it was hardened. Look at those 3 INI-ers. So proud of their muddy creation. Good times.


The final meeting of the SARC e-board. *tear*


Weeming and me before he left for Malaysia. Not going to see him until May, but that's OK cuz he's going to be on Wall Street also. WOOHOO!!!


My last night in the Pitts.

Dinner at Bangkok Balcony with Team 7. We sat and talked there forever; like 3 hours or something? We established Darren's going to have an elephant at his wedding. He's going to ride it down Wall Street.


We semi-graffitied Darren's car by writing Team 7 all over all the windows and glass in his car. =)


How CUTE is this! I only wish I was this festive in Resnik. No Christmas spirit on campus. Only off.


At Phipps Conservatory. Doesn't this put you in a festive mood?


Eugene and Dan's end of year party.

Future coworkers. Cept we're in different divisions AND different buildings. Boo.


2 white boys battling. Hilarious. I especially like Dan's coy look at the camera.


Making out with a plastic head. That has it's eyes popped open. Lovely.



Popular Batman hat.


My first time seeing Domo buzzed. =)


99 Bananas. BLECH!



A wee bit buzzed.


My NBF and me! I feel like this picture captures our relationship. hahaha




Asian Glow. Gotta love it. Good thing at this point I hadn't drinken a lot yet.


My first bong experience. Figured it was something I should do before I leave college. A lot easier than I expected! Probably the best way to consume beer. Goes down so quickly!


Ben and me. Such a smarty pants.

What a great way to end my college career.

Looks like I'll be keeping my 3.5. Actually, even alittle better than that. =D
(Assuming my last 2 classes don't entirely screw me over w/ Cs or something, which shouldn't happen).

YAY graduation w/ HONORS!!!

And for those of you thinking, damn. ONLY has a 3.5? Yea. You can kiss my ASS cuz I don't care. WHEEEEE!!!

2 more days. Living it up. =D

Pictures of paintball have been received.


Me posing w/ my first 2 welts (that luckily didn't bruise); one on the left, the other on my hand. You can't really see the one on my hand, but it hurt like a mofo. Sorta looks like bug bites huh?


Me and Kiley, one of my former CSW kiddies. His roommate (another former CSW student of mine) gave me the fat bruise on my arm and hit me in the head in the same game.


StephFan posing w/ her welts. It looks HORRIBLE the next day.


Steph and Steph, posing w/ our paintballing gear. You can see the white mark on my sweatshirt from where it bruised me. All I know is that I'm sooo not cut out for war, given that I can barely paintball. Although it was fun; I'd do it again.


Me and my bruise on my arm, before it turned purple.

So I officially finished my last ever day of school on Friday. I don't think it's really sunk in yet; probably cuz I'm still sitting here in my dorm room, continuing my school stuff. Still have my Data Mining Project to complete, which is the big honcho assignment; everything else is pretty small.

We also had snow (as noted by my previous entry). Yay SNOW! Course, the yucky snow slush is no fun; no fun at all. It's ok though, since I won't be trudging through it for the next few months; I'll leave it on a happy note.

This weekend was also DS. As usual, the amount of practice we put into at the end was totally worth it b/c it turned out great; I can't wait to see the DVD. Afterparty at Boomerangs, saw and talked to people. Good stuff.

I've been to McDonalds 4 times in 3 days. At least the 4th time I didn't get anything. Still though. It's kinda sick.

Went paintballing today with StephFan(Err, yesterday given it's past midnight), and we have the bruises to prove it. Pictures of us in our masks and w/ our guns are on her camera, will post that hotness later.


Dino cover with snow!


Me and a snowman in front of New House (no, I did not participate in the creation of it)


The ladies of Team 7. Auditions (Ariel), Recitals (Me), and Concerts (Nikka).


The entire Team 7, flashing our team 7 sign. Yes, I came up with it right before the picture. Yes, I know it's incredibly cheesy and dorky.


Matt and Jacob (my choreographer) practicing their solos in the aerobics room.


Me (with my school marm glasses) and my first ever 40. According to Eugene, it's not a REAL 40 b/c it's just regular beer, not some sort of malt liquor. (PS: you can also sorta see my pink hair)


'Touch' Dancers. No group picture of my other dance =(


my incredibly beautiful and talented roommate from last year, Tria, and myself.


Gilani and I after our performance.


Me, Cat, and Gilani onstage in the back during final bows.


Picture of the audience/dancers from the back. Can't really see much.


My dance partner Matt and Me. He's such a cutie. I <3!


Me and Vicky, who came into town this weekend to watch DS.


Me, Margot (another former roommate), and Karl showing off some SARC lovin'.


Carl, another former UBS intern, and myself at the afterparty. He's going to be in NYC too! YAY!!!


Me and Sean, who's still dressed in his costume. Such a sexy dancer too. =P This kid won the limbo contest for NH5 during Orientation House Wars (just to give you an idea of his prowess).


Green OCs at Boomerangs! Aww, missed Henry. Kim, Diana, Me, Georgia.


Vicky (and Abby) dancing on the bar. So SCANDALOUS, huh? Something that I would NEVER EVER (nor have documented evidence of *cough*VICKY*cough*) do!


And I conclude this posting with a not-good picture of the bruise on my leg. Too lazy to fiddle with the settings to show how it truly looks (which is not too attractive). Touching the skin close by makes me cringe. Thanks DARREN for punching me in the arm. GRR!
