graduating is so fricken expensive!
i have spent so much money on this process. $20 for apsa grad banquet, $100 for pictures, $70 for announcements, $60 for cap and gown (with an extra tassel and a ucsd stole), $20 for KP p-grad among other things. but i figure what the hell...i'll only graduate from college once right?
so i havent updated this thing in a while cuz i have been busy with the graduation hoopla. this week is my final week of instruction ever @ ucsd, and as i write this, there are only 9 days left until i step onto rimac field to bid my final adieu to this university. the fact that i'm graduating did not hit me until i participated in APSA's grad banquet this past saturday. before then, i was just whatever about graduating, but when the ceremony was going on, i was suddenly hit with a rush of memories and the realization that my time here is just about over. when the graduates were each called up, i had to pause a bit to take a deep breath before they put the sash around my shoulders. that moment was too surreal for me...after participating in so many grad banquets in the past, i couldnt believe that that moment was my own. grad banquet was great...i had a lot of fun, and jill was a great date! but the night cannot be explained in words.
in addition to ending my time in apsa, i also ended my time with the summer bridge program after being a part of it in some way or another since 1999. i found out that i was not hired to be senior staff for summer bridge 2004, so i finished up my duties. i had my final one-on-ones with my students from intersuite 450, and cleaned out my office. it's weird that i have untethered myself from my 2 main anchors here at ucsd, to find my way elsewhere.
today was the ethnic studies reception, and i was presented with a graduation stole from the department. who woulda thought that i would be honored by the ethnic studies department 5 years ago when i hated the ethnic studies classes i was taking? another surreal moment.
next week is KP's p-grad...more last minute memories and reminisces amongst friends...and then i'm out.
so what will you be doing on saturday june 12, 2004? i know what i will be doing. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =S

lazy bum
that's me! i skipped my 10am sign class this morning, and just slept in. it doesnt really matter that i ditched since there was a sub anyways. we had a sub on fri in that same class, and it was just a big waste of time. i had wanted to be somewhat productive today, but instead i just sat around on my lazy ass and watched tv and played video games. oh well...i'm a graduating senior, i have that right and that privilege. =p
congrats to my best friend Chie for graduating from SDSU this past weekend, as well as a lot of other people who did the same. i'm next! less than a month, and i will be a certified unemployed college graduate. as for tonight, it's going to be my last board meeting for apsa. so bittersweet, but it's time to pass the reigns on to the youngins. damn...im getting old! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p

pcc is over
meaning that i will prolly never perform on a stage again, unless u count grad banquet which is coming up in 2 weeks. it just reminds me that this stage of my life, the college part, is just about over. the saturday show was better and shorter than the friday show. it would have been better if my parents didnt get into a big fight over something stupid right after the show...it was really embarassing...but whatever, it's over. i just hope that next month when i graduate, the same thing wont happen again.
oh well...it's monday afternoon, and i'm done w/ class. im just gonna chill a bit before i head off to quite possibly my last apsa board meeting. the new officers were elected last week, and they have to do appointments...so im thinking that tonight will be a transition meeting. such bittersweetness. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =(dunno how to feel right now)

random =)ing
so for tep 109 (my teaching PE class) we have to go to an elementary school to observe a classroom teacher instructing PE. this past monday i went back to my old elementary school, Hickman Elemantary School here in Mira Mesa to talk to my 3rd grade teacher, Miss Fuhrman, about setting something up so i can observe. she was glad to see me...it had been 14 years since i was last a student in her class. so when i get there, her students were in an assembly so she and i sat and talked for about 15 minutes to catch up on life's randomness. we then went to pick up her class. thats when it started...her kids started asking me all sorts of questions. my original intention of staying for a few minutes to catch up w/ miss fuhrman and schedule an observation visit turned into an hourlong Q&A session.
so today Ian and i went back to do our observation. and as we were walking to the room...we heard a few voices saying "hi mr. green!" and "he's back! he's back! mr. green came back!" now...this was @ 8am in the morning, and for those of you who know me know that i am definitely not a morning person, and it takes a lot to get a smile out of me at that god-awful hour of the morning in which i refuse to be awake for anything. but those kids remembering me and being excited at seeing me put a big smile on my face (yes...at 8AM in the fricken morning!) stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =D

random gripe
so i was having a conversation tonight w/ a friend about the padres vs. giants game that she went to after i had read her online journal. since i'm a padres fan, i just happened to say "boo to the giants." thats when she got mad by saying that she doesnt wanna hear it, she heard enough of it at the game by the other fans, and that since the game was over i shouldnt talk about it anymore. i was basically expressing my opinion about the giants, like anybody would who does not like another team. she took this to be an attack on her and got pissed. ok, for one, this was not an attack on her...at no point did i say "you suck cuz you like the giants" or something like that...i was saying that i do not like a certain team, in a conversation in which 2 friend who like 2 different teams would have. ok...yes the game was over, but its not like i was talking about this game 6 months from now when there is no baseball...or just brought it out of the blue. she promptly signed off after she felt like i was attacking her. am i out of line for expressing my opinion about a baseball team during a convo about baseball? i think not...but i could be wrong. what do u think? stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p
