So...it's been over a year since I updated; I make no apologies. I graduated Rose with a B.S. degree in Optical Engineering last Saturday (5/28) with a 3.08 gpa and minors in Physics and Political Science with a certificate in Semiconductor Device and Materials. Lots of hard work right there, but I made it out, with my gpa recovered. Looking forward to graduate school, I really want to 1) get published and 2) get the 'Outstanding Graduate Thesis', we'll see how both those go. Rose graduation was kick-ass too, very cool, especially since my family and better half's was there. It feels good to be a college grad. All the hard work paid off. Gotta pack up some stuff before taking off for the summer so with that I'll leave you with some Kanye:

'Brains, power and muscle like Dame, Puffy and Russell :: Your boy back on his hustle; you know what i been up to :: Killin' y'all niggas on that lyrical shit :: Mayonaisse color Benz, I push miracle whips and I am :: I am(here's to Rose) and they ask me an' I tell them(heres to Rose) :: Raise your glasses, your glasses to the sky and(here's to Rose) :: This is the last call for alcohol for the....(heres to Rose) so get your ass up of the wall'
