Traffic for 2005 April 24

It was a very eventful weekend. I enjoy vacations, even if I didn't go anywhere. But it always leaves me wondering how time can go by so fast on such weekends as these and yet so slow during an 8-5 work shift, or during a certain classes at my now alma mater. Highlights of the weekend are as follows:

• Graudating with my undergrad and, to my surprise, Magna Cum Laude
• Graduating with my graduate degree and, to my even greater surprise, with Distinction
• Not losing my cap during the processional (a fear of mine)
• Introducing Sumana to cheese fries and the ultimate dipping sauce (a Utah original)
• Cohabitating with four other people in my tiny apartment
• Getting to wear a robe with a hood and "bat wings" as mom called them; it felt like I was graduating from Hogwarts!
• Helping Sumana buy boots for $3.50 at Deseret Industries; the experience was completely void of buyer's remorse
• Celebrating mom's 29th birthday!
• Eating at Macaroni Grill with every member of my wife's family; I think the restaurant will never be the same.
• Reading used children's books in Sam Weller's in SLC. As an aside, I am still sorry for the misunderstanding. I honestly could have stayed there another hour, taking a stroll down memory lane with my used Rhoad Dahl book.
• Introducing Sumana to TRAX
• Eating at Thai-Foon. I still can't decide what I liked best between the Mango Chicken, Evil Tofu Princess, and Wasabi potatos.
• Squishing too many girls into the backseat of my car.
• Getting caught in the rain
• Distracting Leonard and Sumana from working on vacation
• Playing the dot game with Ember
• Finding the Provo train station (and I've lived here how long now?)
• Bridal Veil Falls, sorta
• Deciding which kind of pet Sumana is most suited to adopt (ferel cats!)
• Studying comma etiquette
• Bargaining with the devil (meat for liquor)
• Learning mom doesn't REALLY have a degree

All in all, it was a weekend of making the impossible possible.
