I finally graduated from college. Of course, I have been done with my classes since December, but since there is no December commencement, I had to wait until yesterday. The graduation itself was boring as crap. I fell asleep. Woke up just before they called my name and staggered across the stage. Oh, and I graduated with honors. That's right, honors. I didn't even know it until I went to pick up my regalia and my name was on the list for the funny gold thing honors students wear. It was a welcomed surprise.

I made reservations for my whole family to eat lunch after the ceremony at this place called Thyme Square Cafe. My mom drove past it a day earlier and demanded that I change the reservations because the place looked "dumpy". Needless to say, getting a reservation for 15 people on Mother's Day in Washington DC is impossible. I stuck by my choice and the place ended up being perfect. It was moderately priced, yet upscale and it had enough food for all the picky kosher and atkins people in my family.

Today I went shopping with my mom, sister and girlfriend. I hate shopping. They spent the whole day insisting that I needed to buy more stuff. I have plenty of clothes. I have never had to walk around naked. After much instance I ended up getting one shirt, one jacket and one messenger type bag.

This afternoon, Emily and I spent a couple hours calling moving companies. What a freaking hassle. They all seem like they are out to overcharge us and steal all of our crap. Around 5:00 my mom came over and told us that her friend's brother owns or works for a moving company. Problem solved. They are going to come over later this week and give us an estimate (hopefully).

We went out to dinner at Mie N' Yu. It was wonderful, as always. That place has got to be the best restaurant in DC. For dessert I had "coffee and donuts", which was ladyfingers drenched in Kahlua and covered with a chocolate mousse type stuff. I ate so much that it gave me a huge sugar rush.

After that Emily and I went to CVS. I bought some Kodak Max film, but had to return it after my dad said it was crappy. Now all I want to do is sit around playing 007. I'm too fat to do anything else.
