SJSU: Leslyn's Graduation

Mermaid and I attended Leslyn's graduation on the 23rd of May (Memorial Weekend) in San Jose, CA. The weather was perfect! Despite the perfect weather, Mermaid and I were shielding ourselves from the sun since we didn't have enough sunblock protection (I freckle easily and Mermaid would like to keep her peachy skin, silly girl). Before I left Elk Grove, I had to close down one of my accounts with a bank that was bought out by another bank. I didn't want to stay with the bank since I saw no need in doing so since the old bank is now non-existent and the policies of the new bank is just too familar with another bank I'm with. There goes one of the best old fashion bank where they all know your name with a small town feel. RIP Downey Savings. But closing the account was a bitch due to the policies of the new bank. Crisis, I tell ya! I don't want to go into the boring details of the simple task that needed to be done, so let's just say instead of spending 20-30 minutes, I actually spent over 2 hours dealing with the hairy situation. I should have closed the acount before it became US Bank, but that was my fault. This is how it's going to be. Bigger banks buying out smaller banks. Due to this annoyance, I was an hour behind on schedule for leaving for the Bay Area. I picked up Mermiad and Philliam and we went on our merry way blasting hardcore Disney shit and singing "Under the Sea" at the top of our Rastafarian lungs. We got to San Jose State University a little after 3:00pm, so we made it in time since the ceremony would begin at 4:00pm. Yay! How adorable is SHE? She pulls it off so well! We meet up with Russell. And finally! The grad girl herself! We begin fussing with her like mothers do. They spelled Leslyn's name wrong and even pronounced it wrong during the ceremony! WTF? That dress makes me look big. Or am I that big?? -___-;; Us friends. We're missing someone... Gurd! I look so stupid... But look at the girlies!!! Mermaid and Russell catching up. Philliam reading the program. Congrats Leslyn in completing her Bachelors in Studio Practice! If you need a photographer, I know a good one.
