Congrats Rebecca!

Rebecca graduated with a masters degree this morning from Nazareth, my alma mater. Pat and I are very proud of her. Around two and a half years ago, Rebecca was living in Utica. She started to come out to Rochester almost every other weekend to hang out. At one point, she was like, "I think I should just move out here." Within what seemed like just a couple of weeks, she had already found a job, an apartment, and a school. In the last two years that Rebecca has been out here, I feel like she has grown so much as a person. We're so proud of you, REEB!

On another note, Holly, Debbie, and I lost some brain cells yesterday. We went to George and Kevin's for a party. It was one damn fancy party. Not only did they have Genny Cream Ale - my official drink of Summer '03 - but they also gave out CDs at the door. The CD and the party itself were inspired by the Onion's own opinion writer, Jim Anchower. I think that George went to college with Jim or something. After the party, Holly and I continued our night, going where the road took us on the heel-toe express.

Right now, you're probably asking yourself, "Hey self, where the heck is Pat in this story?" Well, Pat went camping last night with Erik Thing and Micah R. Pat doesn't know it yet, but that was his bachelor party! Tee-hee. Usually when Pat leaves town, he locks up my make-up bag up and steals all of my shoes. Since he didn't do that yesterday, I was able to hang with my girls. Thank you, Pat, for your generosity!

Off the topic, I want to give one other update. A month or two ago, I eluded to how I had been working a lot of (unpaid) overtime and how my job, in general, was causing me to lash out at my loved ones. Well, last Friday, I had a meeting with my manager, in which I cried a lot and threatened to quit. I was serious too. I am happy to report that this past week was the best week I've had in probably eight months! I had very few thoughts about burning the place down this week. Not bad.
