ABQ, Graduations, Weddings, and Friends

So finals week finished off with a bang and I quickly left toward a weekend of excitment in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On the way there I had a lot of time to think and reflect inward. I did think about how the semester went and how school ended up sucking for the first time in my entire life. I have always had bad days or even months but never in my whole life was I actually excited about leaving it all behind me. I did not even feel guilty about any of it. If I left that day and never returned, I can honestly say that I would not have missed it. Since then I have smashed a little bit of reason into my head and came back to work and try to wade through the mess I have been given and the nastier one I created myself. But I digress. So I went to Las Cruces and stayed con mi abuelita. It was nice and I did a few things around the house for her before I left the next morning. So I am cruising up to ABQ and am awestruck but the beauty of the state I used to live in. It was all green and alive; Arizona only wishes it could be as beautiful. Elephant Butte was wonderful and full for once so there was a long shore line you could see down.
