27 on the 27.

Today's my birthday and I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I found out a couple of days ago that there will be a commencement ceremony for the grad class of 2010 at my university, complete with toga! When I found this out, I almost burst out into tears since I was told that we would have no ceremony due to the strike and the financial crisis. I'm very happy about this!

I'm also glad I am staying with my family for my birthday. I wish I could spend it will all my friends (both stateside, metro area, and islander amigos), but unfortunately that's not possible due to logistics. But! I will spend tomorrow vegging out, hopefully get some thrift on, quality time with my loved ones and getting my toga! Toga, toga!

I've been really hippie-dippy lately thinking about the past few years. Grad school, friendships, jobs. Health. Despite everything, I feel I've been very lucky, what with the good and the bad. My parents have been great to me and so has my boyfriend. I've got great friends who've stuck with me through the good and the bad. I've been lucky to travel and to finish my thesis, a project that was consuming me for a while, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Now I've got a slew of other things (amongst is which fixing this blog layout) that I want to do. Hopefully, getting in shape will be the next one. Right now, graduating is my top priority right now! And getting a certain someone to finally move in with me!

Anyway, just wanted to drop by and wish you a lovely day! Hope you have a great one. I'll do my best to pop by more often. I want to update about my DC/Virginia/Philly trip, complete with Lady Gaga concert and finally meeting blogger friends. Till then, peace out!
