I just finished my version of thesis! I was basically revising it for a long time. I know it’s a last minuite, but I feel good about it. Now I need to have my professors read it (they have read the older version already though) and put the images together and bind it and such. I don’t know I can get all of this done by Mon, but at least, I accomplished the main part. I feel good.

Why didn’t I get it done earlier? Well, you know, how that is… The school started charging art history students $500 if they don’t finish their master’s thesis by the end of summer after their graduation. Luckly?!, it doesn’t apply to me and the others who graduated before summer 2004. But I guess I would have finished it by the end of last summer if they decided this new rule earlier. Anyway, it’s good to get things done, because I didn’t feel good about it.

I just went to Becca’s baby shower today. It was so much fun! I got to hang out with those people whom I haven’t seen for a long time. many many cool people!

I am very excited for her, and I really wish that I could be there for her while she is having a baby. I will be in Japan by the time when her baby is born. But that’s okay… I will come visit them or they will come visit me. She is my oldest friend in Chicago, excluding my roommates.

I just started inviting my friends for my going away party on Fri. I try not to get sad, and baby shower was helpful in terms of letting it out and hearing a lot of sympathy from nice people.

Oh I went to a really strange cafe/ hair salon on Montrose owned by an Asian lady who used to live in Japan for 8 years. I think it is a good idea to have cafe and hair salon together, but it took her good 10 min to make 3 cups of coffee, and they weren’t good…sad… I went there with Mary (it was very fun to hang out with her, since I haven’t seen her for a long time and I love her sister, Gretchen too!), and we were cracking up right after leaving the place. The lady could tell that I am Japanese… and very bossy to her husbandish person who made coffee. They used a little espresso machine which apparently doesn’t function well. very funny…She might be a good stylist though for Asian hair…

Ok, I am getting tired after using my brain intensively for my thesis. Tomorrow, I will send it to my professors. It is about 60 pages. I want to read it again after refreshing my brain by sleeping…

good night..
