To Graduation and Beyond

I GRADUATED COLLEGE!!!!

Okay, right, I need to back things up.  So here's what happened up until December 14th (GRADUATION DAY!!!)

Volunteered at Climbing Competition (spotter)

Hung out at the AMA House (FEAT GREEN SPAGHETTI) (And Aisha and food, as always)

The final AMA Bro hug (not featured: Riaz)

And some Mama's Boy!  

Oh yeah, did I mention I was talking the GRE?...

Practice Study test

AND THE TEST! (obviously I couldn't take a pic of the actual test)

AND DONE!  Time for more AMA

FOOD!!!!

How we all felt after exams week... (we felt weak... ha...)

AND ALADIN!!!!!

And I figured I'd go to a different place for breakfast... HA, as if, MORE MAMA's BOY! (Chocolate Cake!)

Last day at the rock wall... :'(

And my parents came down for my graduation!

Terrible iPhone pic of us at the Farm 255.  Better than nothing though...

and...

wait..

more...

GRADUATING COLLEGE!

The TWO Environmental Health Majors graduating (btw, our tassels were the best by far)

The graduates!

Tassle turned to the left, COLLEGE GRAD!!

sorry, one more time...

GRADUATED COLLEGE!!!

(also, graduated with honors, like. a. boss.)

LAST MAMA'S BOY! :'(

Stuff for my dad to take home (I couldn't bring it home because I was CALIFORNIA BOUND!)

My day was CHAOS because we saw THE HOBBIT, but it was totally worth it...

But the real reason my day was chaotic was because of this guy, Ulysses (my car).  I donated it to UNICEF (it was falling apart)

It's been real Ulysses...

Oh, and AMA is amazing, a SCRAP BOOK! (feat Disney pictures and farewell letters.)

and...

more waiting...

you know you like it...

MY UNDER THE ARCH PICTURE!!!!

I waited 4.5 years to go under that thing. So. Worth it.

"Why did you go at night?" - you might be wondering.  The answer: THE DAY LINE WAS 3 HOURS LONG! (?!?!?!)

WALKING UNDER THE ARCH!

Classy dinner with my mom

The back of the best present ever.

PACKING! BLAAAA

The pile for travel day...

HEAVENLY TAHOE BOUND!!!

Bye Bye Atlanta...

Hello Nevada... Land of the Casinos...

And my town! South Lake Tahoe!

The Mountain! (which you can't see because of the fact that it's SNOWING!)

This goofball.

So. Much. Snow.

Finally on the snow!

Beautiful lake tahoe!

Another Pic

AND to actually become an official Heavenly Instructor you need to pass this Fit to Ride test.  We were all just unofficial employees up until this point...

The waiting area

and...

the results...

more waiting....

is...

I PASSED!

 (I did 11 push ups, 13 sit ups, and stood on one leg for 20 seconds (among other things).  Yeah, it was pretty tough...)

My new employer! (Cal Kids Snow School)

And then in the afternoon we had an employee appreciation dinner! Featuring FREE FOOD

So naturally I went and enjoyed the food!

And that's it!  More to come!

Enjoy!
