after finals on tuesday, I was able to relax and take it rather easy. watched "how to train your dragon" with kelly, and went on a nice walk/photoshoot with catherine. I also hung out with my environmental science friends. I'll put that in another post.
I had my major ceremony this past saturday, and the general one on sunday. loved the cnr one. it was outdoors, had great weather, and really fun. the reception was catered by a.g. ferrari foods. yum. downside: I was left with a freaking ugly tan! the cap covered part of my forehead with the rest of my face exposed. because I have so much melanin, my face tanned so fast and now my head is two different colors. I'll be a recluse and hang out indoors until my skin lightens and evens out again. the general one was way too long. it was in the gym with ugly ass balloons. ghet-to. I swear, half of the 3 hour ceremony was spent on saying the names of all the participants. naturally I was starving the whole time. I sat with sid, kim, elita, ferris, laura, and kelly. sid and kim had a subway sandwich...should've thought of that! this even made the berkeley news (at around :50 on the video). the speaker was tiffany shlain. sub-par. she should've spoken at a different uc. I really wish we could've had a more legit speaker. all she talked about was feminism and "moxie". pssh. the student speaker on the other hand was really good! "way to go josh!" I also saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time (i.e. freshman year, ckc bulding 8). crazy what a memory trip it was. I re-wore my lei from the day before and it died a bit in my refrigerator. oh well, hopefully the pictures don't show that... on the other hand, my outfits did come together quite nicely.
and of course, graduation means graduation dinners. went to ruths chris steakhouse with my family. it was delicious. sorry, no pics of the appetizers.me - lamb chops. sitting in some sort of melted better.
dad - rib eye.
mom - chicken. stuffed with cheese.
charlene - filet.
sides: fries, creamed spinach, and potatoes au gratin! yum.
dessert: spelled with two "s's" because you always want more...
warm pecan pie:
molten chocolate cake:
ferris invited me to join his family at 2223 in san francisco (as seen on check please). thank you again! also really good!
appetizers:mushroom pot stickers.
foccacia with proscuitto.
baked mac-n-cheese.

meat loaf: dalia, samir, mr. salameh
gnocchi: reem and fida
salmon: me and mrs. salameh
chicken: ferris, mr. graduate
thank you all for inviting me!
Tried to sell my books earlier today and made a cool 30 bucks. my old textbook was only worth one dollar. ridiculous! and one book was missing a cd so I couldn't sell it back. unfortunately, by the time I got home, I realized that the cd was sandwiched in one of the books that I just sold back. I'm an idiot. drowned my sorrows in a subway footlong meatball marinara with italian cheese and herb bread, diet coke, and latest episode of chuck. I'll probably start mad men season 3 soon, finish weeds, and start entourage. I want to travel, which means some massive planning coming up...we'll see how that goes.
