times are changing, and i don't like it one bit.

i came across this really sick quote recently. it was in a little book at urban, and it said something along the lines of, "it's not that we're going through hard times, it's that we're getting out of too-good times." no, that was way wrong... anyway, it was optimistic and made me smile.

we went to pick up our caps and gowns today. besides the very rude and awkward conversation we had with the straight-up THUGS usc hired for the whole cap+gown pick-up thing (they talked funny and had huge sleeve tatts), i felt so sad. so so so very sad. i tried everything on for daniel and michelle, and i actually like the black robes and red sash combo. USC graduates look very regal. i love USC and loved my times here and it feels surreal that i'm graduating from such an amazing 4-year academic institution.

on to the next one.
