Despite having to move to our new (and super awesome) apartment in downtown DC this weekend, I abandoned Will for 24 hours for a whirlwind commencement tour. During that wonderful New Haven day, I came to the conclusion (again) that Yale is basically the best place on earth.
I got in just in time for Class Day. I got to sit with the Kappa clan, Hudson, and Duffy and Stephanie (who due to a change in rehearsal schedule were attending their first class day ever). Tony Blair's speech was filled with famous quotes and witty comments, and was generally inspiring. The weather was perfect- mid 70s and not a cloud in the sky. It was such a pleasant time.
There was a lot of oh sev <3 to go around this weekend; Chris and Ali came all the way from San Fran, Ben and Hudson came all the way from the Jerz, Kappa from the deep south (his accent thicker than usual), Nick and Christina were there and we got to see Phoebe and Errol. And Herg- I hear you were there too and I'm sorry I missed you! Liquid picnic was in Bingham this year because someone knew about Becton ctyrd and was going to close it down. We still watched the movie in Davies, and the picnic was still a shitshow. 09's movie was wonderful (probably, I forgot to pay attention to a lot of it). It was "InDiana (pronounced like "in diana") Jones and the Book of Life". Maybe someone else can give more details. I was just thrilled to be sitting next to Ali Fraz. And they said my name at one point in the movie!
Anyway, I was very happy with oh sev, BAR pizza, frites, and free booze (oh how I miss college!). The pomp and circumstance was great. And Nick got a photo of Sir Paul picking his nose!
As I said at the beginning of this post, Will and I just moved into a new apartment downtown (by Gallery Place/China Town). Doug and Ronli are probably starting their road trip out to Cali at this very minute. It will be sad not to have Doug around so I hope you all come to visit to cheer me up!
lots of <3

ooh my name!
Sorry I missed you (and most of the rest of oh-sev), Jenny! I left town just as Class Day was starting since I had a few things to take care of at home before the Memorial Day weekend was up. I am, however, in full agreement with you that Yale is definitely the best place ever.
