I guess I forgot to talk about the commencement ceremony I attended on Sunday. Simply put, it was a disaster... Thank god I had taken my umbrella with me. It was cloudy.. then it rained, then it shined, then rained again, then shined again, etc... bleh... Well I was there to see JP, a good friend of mine since freshmen year who had returned from serving the Korean military, couple friends from iFS (international free stylers), and a couple hoobaes of mine graduate. Having attended the Upenn commencement ceremony with Jim Lehrer and his great commencement speech, I had great expectations for Tom Ridge's commencement speech at my alma matar. But, alas... Tom Ridge took the most obvious path reflecting on his career change as the homeland security advisor, and talked about how CMU is about advancing the technology to improve the U.S. security and to stop terrorism. Ok... sure... CMU is partially known for its excellent science and engineering schools... but that's not what CMU is only about... Moreover, CMU is not just an American College, but it's an international community... Yes terrorism is bad, but devote an entire commencement speech to anti-terrorism agendas?? Maybe he was so busy guarding the good ol' US that he didn't have time to write a real commencement speech, and opted to just recycle one of his other boring speeches??? Basically I thought the speech sucked. Me and my friends were just yawning throughout the ceremony... *YAWN*... On top of that, I dunno... for some reason the commencement seemed rather dead compared to the other years I've attended. Cap decoration was kept to a minimum, and not many people were cheering on...Oh well... Just blame it on the weather...

With all that aside I'm just... relaxed... relaxed... relaxed... my mind is ready for a fresh new beginning. This week will be spent in preparation for the entire summer and beyond. Got 'nuf sleep and 'nuf rest / action over the weekend and I'm ready to proceed. :) Fuuuunnnnky Frrrrresh!!! Here I come!!!
