Who Gives a Fuck About an Oxford Comma?

This past week was busy busy busy but lots of fun. I had to get a ton of stuff done before I take off this week for my brother's wedding and had some sort of social engagement each night. When Friday evening rolled around I was so tired and all I wanted to do was crash. But Mikey called me and I ended up going to Johnny's on Second to play pool for a couple hours with him and Floyd. It was a great/mellow time and I actually did VERY well at pool! I won three games against Mikey (and well, lost miserably to Floyd), and won a game in cutthroat. Usually I'm terrible at pool but I was on FIRE that night. Afterwards we made a much needed late night stop at Taco Bell (sooooo good after a couple beers) and hung out at their house for a while.

Saturday turned out to be a somewhat beautiful day, albeit chilly. I'm sorta kicking myself for not hiking on Saturday because it would have been fun. Saturday night Jenny, Megan, Brian, Sebastian, Jen, Lis, Jon, Lindsay, Sameera and I met at Jenny's place to have a yearbook signing party. Yes, you read right... a yearbook signing party. I don't even know if I could write about how ridiculous it was or how the idea came about... But basically Jenny put together a VERY impressive looking yearbook (it's actually better quality than my high school yearbooks) about everything our group of friends has done the past couple years.

It's SO funny and was so well done. Looking at all the pictures of party's, hikes, and dinners brought back so many memories. It actually made me a little sad and nostalgic; in a month Megan will be moving away (for the second time from SLC) and not too far after Sebastian will be going back to Europe. I'm going to miss them so much! It didn't help that Sameera started talking about moving away after defending her dissertation in a year (engineering). She's one of my favorite people ever! Looking at the yearbook made me want to embrace those friendships while I can. That's what sucks about having friends in grad school, people are always moving! I'm fortunate enough though to have plenty of friends who live in SLC and have real jobs (hence, not moving anywhere anytime soon!). But I know that decades from now I'm going to look back on that yearbook I'll remember all the ridiculous times I've had with some of the most ridiculous people ever!

Okay, so I need to pack... Real excited about spending a week in Orlando and with my family. Oh, and if you don't know the reference to the title of this post; well, then maybe you should start listening to good music! (just kidding)

everyone seems to be leaving here too ... that is the hardest part of gradschool, knowing that the friends who are nearest and dearest to your heart are going to leave one day :(
