In The Headlines

Congratulations to Wheaton’s Class of 2009. Thanks to them, this past weekend was completely ridiculous: glow stick bonanzas, late night cookie snack attacks, speeches, dancing, and maté, maté, maté. PLUS, I also got to pet a penguin yesterday. (Hopefully, I’ll post a photo when I have time). Although I have to go to back to work, let’s keep the weekend alive with these headlines.
