Climbing in Colorado

About a month ago I had to go to a conference in Denver, Colorado. I managed to get there a day early to go climbing with my friend Brett. Below is a link to a few photos of us climbing, taken with my new camera that I bought with help from graduation and birthday money. Thank you, everyone!

Graduation Photos

Much delayed, here are a few photos from the graduation ceremony in early May.

There were about 200 students graduating from the School of Public Health this year

My speech was the last of all speeches, but most people seemed to be awake still

Me, mamma, pappa, and Vera (despite quite a few tries, we could not get pappa to not blink) :)

Me, John, Bogdan and Jo Anna with our advisor Serap Erdal in the middle

Me and Steve - he was the first teacher I had at UIC six years ago and has been a friend since

Amanda made sure all the parents made it to the ceremony on time
