Milestones

This blog has devolved a little too much into a "what dorky computer thing I did today" chronicle, so this post will be devoted to non-geeky things.

Yesterday I had my last Principles of Epidemiology class, so all I have left this semester is a take home exam. Overall I'd say the class was a good learning experience, both in teaching me about epi and teaching me about what I want out of a graduate program. I'm still totally conflicted about grad school and if I actually want to do an MPH or enter the public health field at all, but at least now I have somewhat of an idea of what I'm in for.

James graduates next Saturday with his Masters in Theater Studies. He's going to have a graduate degree! This degree was the whole point of our move to Tucson, and I'm really proud of his accomplishment and the great work he's done here. If anyone is looking for an expert on Albee, the American Dream, or any number of other esoteric theater topics, I've got the perfect candidate for you.

In other graduation news, Sarah is getting her BA in International Affairs from George Washington University in a few weeks. I officially feel old now that my little sister is graduating from college. I mean didn't I just start college about 5 minutes ago?

Finally, Jackie and Mason got married April 15th. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful - overlooking the ocean in San Diego. Later that night they had a Pirates vs. Ninjas party, which was fantastically fun. And I got to see all my peeps, which was awesome. We also went to the San Diego zoo, went out for some of the best Indian food I've had in a while, and swung by Chino to visit James' grandparents on the way home. I've attached a picture of me, Gracie and James at the party and a picture of Jackie and Mason looking all marital.
