are YOU ready?

we survived may 21st, but what if zombies were to attack?

the following is from our government's CDC (centers for disease control & prevention) website to help us prepare for just that...

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

may i add that watching movies, such as "shaun of the dead" and "zombieland" could help w/ providing some useful survival tips, as well.

college, done.

this photo was taken before i left for my astronomy final this morning at 7:40am. i'm still in shock that i'm done w/ school. i feel like i should be registering for fall classes, not going to commencement (on thursday, june 2nd).

claire as ramona flowers

today is "literacy day" at claire's school. all of the kids get to dress-up as characters from books or stories that they like. claire chose "ramona flowers" from "scott pilgrim" -- she's reading the series now.

(as usual, i'm so proud.)




[update, later in the day: claire won "best costume" in her class. very cool.]

[update, 9/8/2012: claire just informed me that it was "best costume" in the entire third grade, not just her class that school year.  even cooler.]
