It felt so surreal. I absolutely love love loooooved the speeches at the psych dept ceremony. It was simply the BEST. I will never forget that moment when all of us were looking around only to see everyone else also wiping their tears away. So inspiring. Our reception food kinda sucked compared to the other depts tho. I wonder why, surely our dept is not THAT big.

We didn't know what to do for Wacky Walk so Cathy put together something v. last minute. Our balloons were so noticeable from anywhere. That's how our parents spotted us at all times. But they were too big so they didn't show up in any of the pictures.

My sign: Mom & Dad, thank you and love you (in Korean).
Cathy's sign: Thank you (in Vietnamese, which she spelled wrong and her grandma made her fix). Ho Family USA (her family's email add)
Iesan: Taiwanese flag. Bongo drum. Shell necklace. She was interviewed by a reporter from Taiwan who asked why she was carrying them around.

Korean Fobs reunite! With Miyoung, Woojin, Jungkuk, & DCho

Thoughts on commencement: those GSB students were a bit too much. they were louder than us undergrads. Steve Jobs (http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html) told us he dropped out of college and didnt know what pancreas was. I heard someone saying "that's why you should have gone to college, pal". No free ipod shuffles. O well. Such is life.

Me: *proudly* Hey, look, I put a tiara on my cap!
Cathy: OMG, you just look STUPID!!! *realizes she has a blown-up flamingo on hers* Oh. *looks ashamed* *starts laughing like a maniac* so typical.

Thanks you so much for coming guys! I  you v. much! With Paloma, Anna, Monique, and Jennifer, see the color scheme (blue and pink)? I didn't realize until now that I was flashing my diploma in every picture. Guess I was kinda proud. I mean, after 180k and 4 years, it finally happened!

Met up with Cathy and Iesan in Main Quad. To think that I never have to go there again to attend classes/meetings/office hours is just crazy. Flashing KDPhi sign for one last time in front of MemChu.

Iesan, open your eyes!

There you go - Iesan and her papa

Koreans being...Koreans..isn't my mom so cute hahaha

My friend who graduated in May told me that graduation felt so different than any other coming of age events. It really does. I'm happy with everything that happened and although Monique told me to be funny in this entry I have no energy to be funny or deep or elaborate more. Packing was truly a bitch. I can't believe I'm all moved out. I couldn't have done it without my mom's help. Funny how I'm supposed to be all grown up and have figured everything out, I still feel like a little girl inside.

Thanks Mom & Dad for everything and I love you.

Thanks friends for coming, you guys made it that much better.

I miss living with Cathy already. Don't forget our harajaku moments, I did not peace out on you. Please keep loving me.

Thanks Monique for hosting me. I love being here. So much free time yet so many things to do. I truly love California. And I also can't wait to decorate my new apt. I've decided my theme will be "posh resort on a tropical island". I hope canfraggle approves.
