I just got my Federal tax refund… for $10! I guess it was worth the 39cent stamp and the 10 minutes it took to fill out the form.

Something exciting (and yet rather anticlimactic) happened last Friday: I got my college diploma in the mail! It was really wierd to actually hold it in my hands. Unfortunately, it was like 11pm, so it was too late to organize any celebrating.

Saturday I went to see “The Producers” with uncle John. It was really funny! Then we went to a Japanese buffet called “Todai” and sampled just about everything. A very good day!

Today I went to the Company of Clothiers meeting and heard a talk about the ‘Bliaut’ (it’s a dress), and also got re-fitted for a cotehardie (also a dress). I’m hoping to make a couple new dresses to wear at Potrero War (Memorial Day weekend). I think this won’t be a problem – if I can make 6 Doublets in 6 days, I can make 2 dresses in 3 weeks!

I think I mentioned this in my last post, but Thursday I’m flying up to Eugene to get the rest of my stuff from Mom’s house. Dad’s going to help me drive back down Saturday and Sunday. I’m hoping it’ll be rather painless.
