catching up with pictures

The downside to studying for the bar is that I get extra cautious. More than once, I thought to myself, dang, better not defame anyone on the blog. I am going to regret staying up to make this post tomorrow. Oh well, on with it.

What have I been up to?

Graduation!

I don't have very many pictures from graduation, since I forgot my camera in my car. I've been getting bits and pieces from friends and my parents. Here are two of my faves:

We're missing one.

Waiting for our names to be called. Nghiem, Nguyen, Nguyen, Nguyen. Overrepresented this year.

Engagements!

This is my lovely cousin who has been in a relationship with the same guy since high school. Two degrees later (for her anyway), they finally had the big traditional Vietnamese engagement party. Here she is in an ao dai. Perfection.

First one out of my group of college friends to get engaged. The cup says Bride, in case you couldn't tell. I know, with that little tidbit, it's like you're right there witnessing the joy.

She's amazing as well. Law review, teaching fellow, heading off to a big white shoe firm for the summer. The good ones do get taken first.

In unrelated news, I finally redeemed some rewards points from the school's research system to get a tripod. Hopefully this will spare you from any more of my self-taken shots, but then that just means you'll be subjected to awkward posing.

Until next time!
