Anyway, whatever. Today I got up and went to Chili's with Lucy... SO much fun. I really love that girl! Then I chilled with Sarah and Sara and Sarah, that was lots of fun. Sara and I read the knot for literally like 4 hours... we're SO LAME. But it was fun to just be a little bit of a pile and goof off a little bit. Then Patrick and Emily came down and we went to Nevin's with Julius. We played lots of cards... I love cards! It reminds me of the good old days of HOAD (Hang Out at Dave's) that we had in Oregon. Yet another thing that makes me so excited about moving back. Keith tried to convince me to go to Oregon like July 20th so that I can go to Creation, which I may well do. It sort of depends on my grandmother's situation and if I need to go down to Houston to help with packing up the house and stuff. I also really want to spend some time in LA visiting Doug... I miss him so much and it's been like 5 days. We're just getting a lot closer I guess. Too much sappy information, I know. Maybe he'll read this and get the hint that he should move to Portland. ;-) Anyway, I should also mention that I'm DONE with college, since it seems I haven't done that yet. Yesterday we had the final JetBlue presentation and the IE BBQ (IEMS FEST!), then I finished writing my negotiations paper and watched some TLC. Goooood times. It's fun being done, I just wish I had a little bit more to do. Oh well, I'll have a lot of time this week to pack and get really organized so that I won't have to do that as much this summer. If I didn't have trivia and all sorts of other crazy stuff going on, I could spend some time in Iowa this week, but oh well.

I'm off to bed... more tomorrow I'm sure!
