I graduated from UCLA yesterday. I attended two ceremonies, with my family watching from the stands. The economics department ceremony was a lot more intimate, with only 650 graduates. The social sciences ceremony was bigger, but officially waving the magic wand and calling me a graduate. Hopefully I can find a good job in the next couple of weeks, and get on the career path before I need to go after my MBA. :)…
I am now in finals week. The last finals of my undergraduate career (I hope). Anyone can attend UCLA and receive an education for free. That is right, for free.

I just spent the weekend in Seattle, which was really nice. I visited Safeco Field, The Space Needle, Monorail, Pike Place Market, and the Experience Music Project….
Pearl Jam was awesome. Eddie even crowd surfed!…
I just sent in my absentee balot for the November 7th elections. Get out and vote! The government is going to take the money from your paycheck anyways, at least play a part in deciding where your money goes and whose salary it helps pay….
I just got my PlayStation 2!!! I was soo lucky, just happened to be in Best Buy when a new shipment came in. I also bought Tekken Tag Tournament, a dual shock controller, and an 8MB memory card. I ordered FIFA 2001 from Amazon.com, but it does not come out until November 21. I can't believe Ben Olsen is a poster boy now. Too bad he never won an NCAA title. hahaha…that's right, 2-0 in Richmond….
I am having fun playing with my new Sony Clie. Pretty fun so far, although I am still getting a feel for things….
