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).

Hey! When exactly will you be in Chicago? What part of Chicago? We'll come and see you so that you can hang out with Adam and meet Carston.

My feelings are totally hurt that you're not coming to visit. Whatever ;) BTW-you're NOT living here!

i didn't send out grad announcements because i felt like that would be overload since everyone just got a wedding announcement from me.. but i would have just sent them to family & close friends if i had done it.

Yes, still send out some announcements - you might be able to get some money from people. (although I will only give you a firm handshake)

You are lucky to have a job lined up. Save some money as soon as you get it.

1-ply = poo on the hand. Don't mess with that stuff. I aspire to buy 4-ply someday ...

Im with Brett on this one. Both on fiscal and fecal matters.

I definitely think that you should send a graduation announcement to the President. Maybe he'll fly Air Force One out for the occasion.
