Ohlone Graduation! (the final one)

So on Thursday May 27th I graduated for the second and final time at Ohlone College. Last year I got my AA in Graphic Arts and this year since I was wrapping up some transfer requirements I thought I'd take an extra class and snag myself a communications AA. It was nice to have a formal end to my time at Ohlone. I've learned a lot there, and not just academics. As sappy as it sounds, I've learned a lot about myself and how to succeed and I hope that means Sac Sate will have minimal problems presented to me. I get the feeling that won't happen. There may be bigger problems and challenges, but hopefully with the preparation I've had I will be able to face them. Anyway, here's some pictures from the ceremony. We took a bunch later and I havent been able to steal those from mom and dads cameras yet but they'll probably make it to mom's blog soon enough, so if you really can't get enough of me wearing a funny hat and a dress, be sure to watch for that over there.

A Quick Update

Its a week before the end of the semester and graduation, so things are a bit hectic. I'm very excited though. All these years at Ohlone with no clear end in sight and finally the end is a mere week and a half away. Earlier this month, mom and I went to Sacramento to stake out possible living situations. Turns out that theres very few options for students. There are about 3 apartment complexes that cater to students, not including the on campus dorms. But we found a great one that is a really short bike ride to school, has amazing amenities, is only a few years old and quite possibly one of its best features is that they are constructing a Target directly across the street from it! That will be so convenient, and I can probably snag a job there when it opens. I didn't take any pictures of the place, but here's one from the web site:

Definitely gonna get my money's worth out of that pool. (or dad's money's worth. thanks dad!)

Thats the floor plan of the one I signed up for. They pair you with a roommate based on a compatibility test you take. And I get my own bathroom. So I'm hoping I won't have any roommate difficulties. Normally I'd be really nervous about that part, but I think the fact that I get my own bedroom and bathroom and that theres only one roomate to deal with is making it relatively easy to cope with. Anyway. I have a lot of crap to do before school is over but I wanted to throw out an update for the record and for the 3 or 4 people that look at this blog. haha.

The Strange Sleeping Habbits of Butters

So, much of this blog has been centered around me (I'm the one writing it so that makes sense), but  the title boasts inclusion of a dog. So here's a post about Butters. She likes to sleep in the weirdest places and in the weirdest positions. Whenever I see it I usually take a picture and I recently realized that I have a lot of those. Here are some of the crazy ones.

She started young. This was her first day home. She was so tired from the flight she passed out under my desk. So cute!

This is her the following morning. She just sort of layed there like that for a while after I opened the crate.

One time I had a huge pile of clothes on my bed. Butters saw it and decided she needed to climb to the peak and sleep there.

For a while she loved sleeping on this big stuffed duck. It was adorable.

I just pulled some clothes out of the dryer and put them in my room. I left for a moment and came back to find that Butters had awkwardly made a bed out of the clothes basket.

 

I just remember that this was late at night. I don't know what she was thinking. lol

I have to admit, this photo is slightly staged. She laid down and put her head on my pillow and I just had to pull the covers up and put her teddy bear in her arms to take a picture.

Butters likes to watch lifetime movies with mom. She usually sleeps through them. This time she decided that she was bored of laying on the cushion like any other dog would and ventured to the top of the couch.

She is a strange animal.
