Hurrah! The Honors College just sent me a check to cover most of the cost of my thesis (sans donations), and I got another graduation check from family (man, people are seriously holding out!). Thankfully, this takes my credit card balance down to a much more manageable $400 and makes me not nearly as squeamish about getting GradMed insurance next month. Mom says I can get COBRA through her insurance, but it's something ridiculous like $270 a month. I can get three months of $250 deductible GradMed for less than that but it doesn't cover doctor's visits or prescriptions. Guess I can be happy I'm blessed with good health!

As of this afternoon I'm off to Jackson Hole. I may have internet at the swank hotel, and I may update with photos, but no guarantees. I'll be coming into Seattle on the 30th, after which Justin and I are probably going backpacking with my dad at Mount Rainier for a few days before coming back for a 4th of July party on a Lake Washington houseboat. Back in Eugene Tuesday, July 6th. Whee! Summertime!
