Went to graduation commencement to hear the ceremonies... left when they started calling out names. If you had to write a graduation speech, what would u say?

Mom here, taking me back to arcadia before the trip tomorrow. Things are happening too quickly to think.

Will not be updating while on trip I think.

Message to my follow citizens of the State of Abe:

See ya laterz, goodbyes are not in order at the moment because death is still at least 40-50 years away.
48hrs of planning...

Going to UCSD to hang out with high school friends tonight. Coming back to attend graduation tomorrow to stand in the audience and get contact info from as many people as I can... and just to be there. I will not miss a funeral because it is sad, neither will I miss a graduation.

That evening I will pack and ship all my stuff back to Fort Wang. The next morning and afternoon I will do last minute preparations--like packing and getting a haircut-- and at 4pm go to the airport to europe.

I board a London-bound plane at 7pm. I will be in Europe for 46 days and 46 nights. When I return, I will be finding housing and frantically reading through my summer reading list before taking my first Southwestern Law School class starting August 14th. Three years (of celibate study) later, I’ll join the workforce— and from there I do not know…
Friend Christina Woo made my day today. Stopped off to give me a card of well-wishes. Haven't known her for a long time, but know her well and wish to know her better.

She also included 10 British pounds. Just enough to get me from the airport to the hotel. My plans before were to exchange money at the airport, but her thoughtful gift erased one more worry off my mind. I will secure a UK version of the new Harry Potter in mint condition for her for her thoughtfulness (she is a librarian and a fellow harry potter fan).
When I look into the rearview or sideview mirrors when driving, I have a tendency to slow down. This inability to quickly glance in the mirror and then speed up to change lanes hinders me from driving forward quickly and efficiently.

When I look back into past events in life, I have a tendency to slow down. I can't let go; I don't want to look forward at all the good things to come; I want to be here, be happy, be in my own beautiful bubble world I have conquered and civilized. When I look back at what I leave behind, my desire for road rage fizzles.

Fate has always treated me well, with a good combination of good events and bad so I am generally happy, but don't get soft. I defer to Fate once again for guidance on the road to life...

Feeling sad about graduation.... each year 1/4 of my friends scatter like dandelion seeds. This year, I'm the seed. What's worse, instead of losing 1/4 of my friends, I lose 4/4 at the same time. I would stay in college if I could.

I should be happy-- I'm going to europe, I have a bright future-- but now all I can think about is the loss of my friends, and how I should have worked harder in college to get Honors and how there is sooooo many things I could have done in college that I now don't have the time for because I must charge forward. I am a sad and frustrated little boy humbled by hindsight and powered by regrets.

I figure graduation is a lighter version of old age when I'm like 70-80 years old and every year there will be some of my friends that "move on."

It is quiet in Irvine.
Graduation is tomorrow.
To me there is nothing to celebrate about, it's a funeral, not a celebration.

Tomorrow I must be brave and smile broadly because I cannot let what could be the last sight my friends have of me be a downcast face.
When it comes to cleaning after people-- the more you do, the more you will do.

The State of Abe (TSA) stocks rallied late today... stubborn optimism runs high as enemy forces are scattered.

Camera problems solved. Thanks Friend Alice for saving the day, thanks Friend Dante for the backup. Olympus gave me $20-30 worth of new batteries and it works like a charm. TSA roars into the digital age with new photo capability.

Unexpected good news... 3B Books division regains marketshare as inventory refills.
