I am so incredibly
drained.
Friday was our last day in the University Town, which involved finishing packing, loading up the trailer, cleaning, and getting checked out from our old apartment. We made it up to our new city, and unloaded what we need while we live in our temporary housing. Saturday involved driving back to the University Town, going through graduation ceremonies, and coming back to home. A long day (had to wake up early) coupled with Big Life Events (you mean I'm actually done with school?) will wear you out. Elise was oblivious to everything, except that halfway through the graduation ceremony she started kicking my bladder as her way of saying "Mommy, do something about this!". Sadly, not much could be done until afterwards. Hurrah for weird TMI goodness!
Today has also been a long day - Greg and I went to Mass with his parents and all the moms received a special blessing.

Greg and I then went out to visit my aunt, uncle, and my mom (who stayed with my aunt all weekend) and hung out. And ate a lot of food.

After that, we met up with Greg's parents and bought a range for our up-and-coming apartment, which will most likely come with us to the New House. The goal is to get the apartment done by the time Dad comes back from his business trip (end of June-ish). I really hope so - that would be grand.
Tomorrow my goals include sleeping in and researching the seismicity of the area. I know what the geology is for the New House Lot, but don't know how deep down the bedrock is nor where there are faults. And yes Virginia, we do live in an active fault area. Greg's Dad has earthquake straps on his house, but I'm investigating to see if earthquake straps + quake insurance would be a good thing or not. I don't know I need to get a hold of the state seismology lab or the city's emergency planning and preparedness people for fault maps. I actually did a project on the probability of another major earthquake in the area where we now live, but I don't think it's very accurate anymore, nor do I know where that paper is at. :S
At any rate, I'm drained and need sleep. But my final grade round-up was very good, thanks in part (I'm sure) to St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Joseph of Cupertino. I'm sure they're happy to have a rest from interceeding for me.

For this semester I ended up with:
Biogeography: B+
Anthropology: B
Computer Science: B-
Statistics: C+ (which means I actually did well enough on the final to raise my grade, who would have thought THAT?)
Here's some pictorial proof of graduation:

HAPPINESS ABOUNDS.
(Totally unrelated: happy birthday to the Church!!! And happy Mother's Day to all mommies, including Jesus' Mommy).
Bedtime for me!!
