The Last Spring Show



Last week was the advertising department’s annual Spring Show and it was bittersweet for many reasons. First of all it’s my last spring show ever, which is awesome because it means I’m graduating but tragic because I will be forced into the “real” world in this crap economy. Obviously graduation has always been my plan but the amount of self-inflicted pressure I have endured has been ridiculous all in the name of graduating this summer. Originally I had my reasons for the push but now they all seem trivial. Good news is I won a silver award for a brief I worked on extremely hard and that was very close to my heart (it was rejected all together last year). Enough gloom and doom about graduating. Last week when I picked up my cap and gown I was so proud. Strangely I have never actually worn a cap and gown. I went to a small HS and they insisted our graduation would be a “classy” affair. The ten members of my graduating class (yes I said 10) wore white dresses and white suits. We graduated in the Rockefellers church with the famous Chagall windows. I graduated UCSB in the winter and didn’t go back to walk in the summer. Anyway the idea of walking this May (even though I still have 2 summer classes) has made my parents proud.

Dating update:

I had to cancel my date with Brittany’s boy last week. I was too hung over from the Spring Show where I behaved badly. I am supposed to meet him sometime this week. There is actually a new one on the horizon. I will say no more as not to jinx it.
