  • the honors banquet was last night.  was kinda rushed setting up, but it turned out beautifully.  we picked orange and magenta as the colors and it was gorgeous.  the food was pretty good, too.  oh, apparently i have a 3.94 and 4 A+'s (according to heineman, who i guess looked at my transcripts before introducing me).  it was so sad.  he's usually mean to me and he was actually nice in his introduction, which means that the school year is over.  does that make sense?  well he started the speech off saying that he was up for several nights thinking of mean things to say about me and that he'd share it in private with anyone who was interested.  i'm gonna miss my professors!!!  so here are some pics from the banquet:




    that's me with my honors certificate and cord.  in the lower right hand corner is amar; he's such a sweet guy.  and the lady in the back is our dean--our first female dean, who just completed her first year.



    that's sara, one of my buddies, me, and dr. crawford, one of the awesomely awesome english professors.  she was complaining about taking pics.



    that's my dad,  my mom,  dr. heineman (the one who's mean to me and had our final paper due the next day by noon), mama sue (my dad's mom), me, and louie (whose shirt is untucked because he's wearing micah's pants because he grabbed the wrong ones and had to hook the clip onto a belt loop and use giant paperclips to secure them).



     


    that's me, kim (my super fresh boss), dr. deist (my middle ages: age of chivalry professor; she has the cuted german accent and her voice is really soft), and sara again



    that's viola (my other nerdy buddy, she has the coolest giggle; she's holding one of the boxes we made for the graduating folks), me, dr. heineman, and sara; did i mention that viola and sara are my fellow english major, honors program in the humanities, only-drink-when-i'm-around-them friends?


    so i finished my last final and emailed it to my professor at 11:57am (it was due by noon).  then i fixed the stupid bibliography because i forgot to include the texts that i actually wrote on.  then i printed all but one page because my printer ran out of ink.  then i had to clean the print heads and realign the nozzles.  then i printed the last page out.  then i woke my honey up and coaxed him to drive me to school and drop off the hard copy and a couple articles i thought dr. heineman would enjoy.  i bought him comics and 2 for me =).  when heineman saw me he had like this scowl on his face because he thought my paper was late, but i was like "i emailed it to you... but i fixed the bibliography" and he was like "oh okay, so i don't have to print it" and i was like "yeah... i was up since 3."  the title of my final paper, the last paper of my undergraduate career at USF (unless i go back and get another BA or a BS or something here):  "Sexual Stunting, Incestuous Pregenital BDSM, and the Loss of Masculinity in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis."  I don't really remember if it was very coherent or not.  It was supposed to be 2000-3000 words, but it ended up being more like 6,600, so I dunno.  I hope it isn't full of rambling.  There are some sizeable quotes in there.  so sad.  no more work.  it's a relief, but it's like, now that it's over, what do i do with myself???
