-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.
