the anti-climax
i am avoiding my reading on various statistical concepts that sound less than thrilling, among them the before-after estimator and the matching method. i admit that.
what i am not doing is thinking of something clever to kick off the countdown to graduation. i - with many others - am seven class weeks away from finishing my master's degree. and i have a sneaking suspicion that graduation is going to feel absolutely anti-climactic, so a countdown is an (possible misguided, procrastination-driven) attempt to make the whole anticipation of it a little more exciting. so, i ask you, my fellow near- graduate school graduates, what are things appropriate to a countdown? favorite moments of the past year and a half or so is fun but predictable. and, given my short memory, would have to be the chair L-hold competition and the drunken intensity and fervor for which it was responsible. other ideas? anyone with any bright ideas is welcome to share them in the comments section. because we will all have an insatiable need for procrastination material over the next seven weeks. let's face it.
on another note, brendan just brought some fungal growth floating in brown water over to show me. apparently he is embarking on a liquid experiment of sorts that, when ingested, will make us "the healthiest people in the world". we'll see. life as the girlfriend of a SNAG can be trying.

what's a SNAG? also, countdown materials:
1)how many monday night happy hours left?
2) other events coming up = upcoming party/brendan's show/npn golden gardens shindig on may 11/may 25th dean's picnic/graduation party
a SNAG is a sensitive new age guy. i had never heard of it unstill i started dating one. i gotta say it's handy having a word for it.
Another item to put on the list is the graduation weekend shin-digs. However, since the impending ceremony will be over by 11am there may be some inclination to start drinking early and keep going all day.
um...from someone who has participated in such debauchery and lived to tell about it, unless you want to be out of commission for most of the next day and have embarassing videos of you dancing floating around - resist that temptation!
Then again, if are all done with graduating by 11am we are probably going to need to celebrate and will want to continue that into the night...we just need to be strategic about it.
