Gradjeation Day

The end of spring semester has been difficult two years running. Spring ’05 was due to an impossible schedule (4 classes & CHI), and I limped out of the first year with a lousy late paper and a second incomplete one. Spring ’06 was capstone, capstone, capstone, and my final sports informatics project suffered as a result. Moments ago, I finished another revision of the incomplete paper and sent it in. Assuming none of my current fears come to fruition — Prof Ogan has left for Timbuktu U. and doesn’t have internet access; Prof. S. Bardzell is still waiting for my CD (I sent a link); nobody got my grad dinner check; the dinner is a black tie affair; I’m the focus of a 38-year-old reality television project — I can officially relax.
