COMMENCEMENT! Finally, I feel like a woman!

Together, mom and me resemble a ying-yang.




At the Last Supper in the cafeteria they had wine,
asparagus and cookie platters. You were allowed

Friends were setting off fireworks until an outraged
topless neighbor in pink shorts came out to yell at them




Q: How can I make a difference in This Crazy World?

I am entering the workforce with my tongue first




Moments of whoa




There was a caterpillar on our table. Finger for scale.









Loveliest mom in the world




It was one of the happiest days of my life.
