06/02/2006: ""A quest we won't forget""

I've had a really weird sleeping schedule lately, some nights I'll sleep for 7-8 hours straight and others I go back to the same, disturbed sleeping I was doing a few weeks ago. It really is odd, and makes absolutely no sense to me. This doesn't matted all that much, but I've been tired over the past few days. It's summer.. I'm supposed to be sleeping 12 hours a day!

As I mentioned before, I graduated a few weeks back (mid-May) with my Associate (of Liberal Arts, for anyone who's curious) and now have half of my BA finished. Oddly enough, this was the first graduation ceremony I've attended since I was in preschool, and that didn't really count. It really wasn't all that bad, though the experience was incredibly long and drawn out, taking about 3 hours from when I arrived to when we finally got out. Overally, I'm not sure if there's much to say about it. While I can't really say it was "fun", at the same time, it's probably one of those experiences you should go through anyway.

I have some photos here from after the graduation, for anyone who wants to see.

Aside from the graduation, the past few weeks have been kinda dull when it comes to "exciting events". Since it's summer I'm not doing a whole lot right now, though I intend to start being productive sometime in the next month or so. There have been some things going on in my life around me, but those events weren't all that good, things were stressful for a bit, and I decided to spare the world from having to listen to me nag and complain about these things and that's why I didn't post for awhile. It looks like things are sorting themselves out, though.

I think all my advising stuff's done for now, and I don't need to do anything else for admission until about July (I need to fill out some forms then), then take a placement test for Japanese in August. I'm not really worried about the test, but I plan on trying to buy some resource books for studying/going over Japanese in a few weeks. I still have my textbooks, but the way they're formatted, they really aren't any good outside of a classroom.

Ack! I'm running out to lunch now.. I'll write later.
