Weddings, Travel, and Misc.
This last weekend Phil invited me out to Michigan for his friend Margot's wedding. The idea was that we would leave Friday around noon and stay through Sunday. Thanks to the poor planning by the folks over at United, that didn't really happen. They cancelled our flight and then conveniently put us on another one roughly 12 hours later. Yup, we flew across the country to Michigan at 11:50pm on Friday. Factor in time zone changes and that means we arrived at our final destination at about 10-something am Saturday morning. The wedding was at 4pm that afternoon, so we got to spend the remainder of that morning and afternoon catching up on some precious sleep.
The wedding itself was very simple and quite expedient. I'd say the entire ceremony part took less than 10 minutes all together. Even though it was really short, it was very well done and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dinner and reception that followed were equally as awesome.
Margot and Adam, congratulations!
Also, 'cause I thought the picture came out rather well. Phil and I looking cute at the Riverside Inn's dock.
Since Friday afternoon was made available to me, I decided to go down to ASU and finally graduate. I'm not even going to relate the entire afternoon's story since that would require vastly more energy than I'm willing to give right now. Suffice it to say, I'm no mere mortal when it comes to ASU's bureaucracy. Three signatures, two forms, a readmission statement, and transcript transfer, and three fees later I have the credits for the one class standing between me and graduate. In my mind's eye I've already graduated as my computer science nonsense was done a year ago. In the University's eyes I just have to shuffle the paperwork around so they'll print the damn degree.
