Ignore how funny looking I am. I GRADUATED! BA in Asian Languages and Literature. Done.

And then we mad dashed to the apartment as the snow started falling for the third snow storm in a week, packed everything I could, and ran head on into this blizzard. Saw 17 abandoned cars on I-80 between Iowa City and Des Moines.


A few photos~

Me either. I left the driving up to my parents. My mother, who was the one in that white car, was freaking out the entire trip.

Yeah, it was my little sibling taking the photo. He doesn't know how to pose no matter how much warning he has. -_-; A trait I think I inherited.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! It's over!

I'm glad we were driving away from that storm. Of course, we had different troubles, but at least they weren't snow-related.

Oh? Other crazy weather? Or did the family crazy start early this year?

Not weather. The back window of our car exploded last night, and we just found out that my grandparents' dog died yesterday as well. Merry Christmas, eh?

At least it's warm here.

0_o It a-sploded? Just... a-sploded? Whut?!

Warm... Y_Y I took the fucking freezing weather with me to KC. It was 50 degrees until I showed up. Now? 6. *cries* You are a lucky, lucky girl.

Yeah, just a-sploded. Mom & Dad thought someone shot at us at first, it was that sudden and random. I'm going to upload a pic on facebook, I think.

The weather is my only (totally awesome) ally here. I shall bask in it for people freezing everywhere else.

Damn! Definitly more excitement than the average road trip. =/

Oh! Oh! I came home to your package. 8D LOVE! OMG. I'm sorting the albums into my main collection now. Together with the Bowie discography torrent I'm getting, this will make my collection EPIC and it shall RULE THE WORLD! \:D/ <3 <3 <3 *dances around the room* Thank you thank you thank you!

Yaaaaaaaaay, glad to know you got it! I have 5 more albums for you that wouldn't fit on the DVD, I figured I could just MU them or skype them to you sometime.

From: [identity profile] mizuno-caitlin.livejournal.com
Yes! And as always, everything I have is yours. I have SUPER high bandwidth now. All sorts of free time, too. =D Next time we chat I'll work up that DVD or two of dramas I owe you and talk other media sharing. ~.^

We got a storm similar to that in NY...that looks more like Friday here, but worse.

It might be the same storm? We seem to keep giving weather to you guys. =/

Thanks! =D

Yeah, it was. ;-; We thought it was just going to be snow flurries after the last ice storm but then we got on the road and... D: But, we lived. >_> It was quite pretty though...

Aw gee, I wish we could wear cool-looking robes like that in our graduation ceremonies. Oh, and congrats!

SNOW?! Jealous! I think we'll have yet another wet/black Christmas coming up...

From: [identity profile] mizuno-caitlin.livejournal.com
Thanks! If they don't have you wear caps and gowns, what do you wear?

*laugh* Half the country is getting a white Christmas this year. Three cheers for global warming's effect on storms. 8D What is a black Christmas? Black clouds?

At university, I guess it's just fancy clothes and that's it. :P (Actually I'm not really certain, but I guess I'll find out sooner or later.) At least back in high school, we got to wear ridiculous hats like this (http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9807/lakkiup0.jpg).

'Musta joulu', which literally means 'black Christmas', is what we tend to use as a synonym for snowless Christmas. Hence, 'black x-mas' = no snow. :( The past few winters have been nothing like the ones in my childhood days. How I miss the early 90's!

Any plans for the holiday season?

From: [identity profile] mizuno-caitlin.livejournal.com
That's so strange to me! What is graduation at any level with out funny anchient clothes? XD Anyway, those hats! They look almost military. =/ Huh.

Aw~ I don't think a snowless christmas is that bad a thing. 0_< I'd love for it to be over 40 degrees here, for instance....

Me? Oh, my family is going out of town without me so I'm going to unpack my things from my apartment and pet sit while watching every marathon I can think of. ^_______^ You?

I also hope to get my share of TV/DVD marathons (though I still have a couple of course reports/summaries due prior to 01/01), considering that my brother got me the second season of Xena for Christmas. XD
