Why Georgia - John Mayer
I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
I’m just stuck inside the gloom
4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind
cause I wander sometimes
about the outcome
Of a still verdictless life
am I living it right
am I living it right
am I living it right
why, why Georgia, why
rent a room and I fill the spaces with
wood and places to make it feel like home
but all I feel’s alone
it might be a quarter life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul
either way
I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life
am I living it right
am I living it right
am I living it right
why, why Georgia, why
so what so I’ve got a smile on
It’s hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
don’t believe me
don’t you dare believe me
when I say I’ve got it down
everybody is just a stranger
but that’s the danger in going my own way
I guess it’s a price I have to pay
still everything happens for a reason
is no reason not to ask yourself if you are
living it right
are you living it right
are you living it right
why, why Georgia, why

And....I'm done!
Hey,
After a long day of graduating I'm finally home to relax. Here's a brief synopsis of the day's events.
1) 5:33 Woke up
2) 7:30ish got to campus
3) 7:45-9 stood around in a queue (I could be ISyE) with my fellow soon-to-be PubP graduates
4) 9 something processed into a packed out colessium through the secret tunnels. I'm serious about the packed outness...that place was full.
5) Stood some more as the procession continued, and continued, and continued. Hit some balloons around.
6) Graduation stuff and speakers. I was looking forward to hearing from Elizabeth Dole but her political speech, typical of such speakers, wasn't really up my alley, nor was up in most of the Ivan Allen student's allies. Much grumbling was heard as she talked about the war and the U.S. responsibility to the be in charge of the world (my interpretation).
7)Got my "memento suitable for framing" (an alright picture of Tech tower with a Thoureau quote)
8. Sat there for a long time
9) Graduation ended and must frustration ensued as there were a lot of people and I couldn't get hooked up with the family for probably 45 mins due to plans that didn't work out.
10) Ate dinner at Houston's on Northside, really good place. Ate a GT cake mom got for me.
11) 5:20 finally back home.
Needless to say it's been a long and eventful day. I liked being able to sit with my PubPeeps during graduation. One interesting observation that I had as well as all of the non-engineers was the overwhelming loserness we sortof felt when the College of Engineering students stood up (an entire half of the stadium floor and hearing the ensuing crowd roar was intimidating. Of course this is an engineering school and that should be expected but it was disheartening. However, I'm extremely glad I went to Tech even though I'm not an engineer.
Until I get bored, later.

This is it!
It's about that time...time to graduate! If use a lot of exclamation point please forgive me. After 4 years of papers, bad grades, and good grades it's all about to be over. Opening new doors and closing others (but there's still windows to look through). Finished my thesis and 3 finals, wee haw!!! Now time go to here Elizabeth Dole speak, hopefully it will be interesting. Next time you hear from me I'll be a Georgia Institute of Technology Alumnus!
