Graduation and random thoughts

My countdown to graduation has officially begun. 65 days. I can't wait, of course, I'm sure a year or two down the road I will be wishing that I was back in school.

I have my graduation trip all planned and booked. Two days after graduation I'm going to Chicago to visit two of my sisters for about 10 days. It should be fun and relaxing. Sorry Liz, I thought about going to Phoenix after graduation but then I was like, I'm moving there in July anyway, why would I take a vacation there right before I move there. Plus if you let me live with you then you'll see enough of me anyway :)

Question: Do people still send out graduation announcements? Or is that a thing of the past? I got an email from BYU talking about ordering announcements and I was wondering if I should get some to send out. I don't want to be "that guy" who sends out announcements when no one else does. That would be foolish. And who would I send them to? The President? Other heads of state? My mom?

As I have been watching the news and staying up to date on the economy I feel very blessed that I have a job lined up after graduation. Some of my classmates have had their job offers with the Big Four postponed 6 months or a year. I hope that doesn't happen to me.

On an unrelated note, this weekend my roommate bought 1 ply toilet paper. Who buys that garbage? (other than my roommate) I think I am going to ban him from buying toilet paper for the apartment in the future. I hope that wasn't TMI (too much information).

Jazz beat the Lakers

On Wednesday night the Utah Jazz beat the Lakers. There are few things that make me happier in life than the following:

1. Seeing the Lakers lose to anyone
2. Seeing Kobe Bryant lose to anyone
3. Seeing the Utah Jazz beat any team
4. Seeing the Utah Jazz beat the Lakers

To have all four of these things happen in one night was magical indeed.
