A hospital in Barberton will validate your parking so you don’t have to pay to visit patients.  I took a picture of the validation stamp with my cell phone, which for some reason was set on “sepia” and i didn’t realize it until today.

Yep, in big red letters it says “FREE PARKING - ASS.”  Even assuming ASS was some sort of acronym, you think someone would have spotted that and added extra letters or something.  It was far more obvious in person, probably because I see in color…

Last Saturday I walked across a stage and received my degree.  I managed to pull off Magna Cum Laude afterall, and feel pretty satisfied with what I accomplished while an undergrad.  Now I’m planning on relaxing for the summer so that I can feel rested for graduate school.  I feel like no matter what I do, I’ve always only finished “the easy part.”  I’ve revamped the information on the site a bit, and will start looking for a new site theme since I’m at a new chapter in my life.

On March 29 I officially quit running the hiramvillage.org website.  I did that for three years, and in anticipation of graduating decided to let go of that job so I can focus on all the more pressing matters at hand.  In light of all the complaints I received back when the Village Council told me to shut down the forums on the site, I have opened a new site called www.hiramforums.org which is completely unaffiliated with the village’s site. 

Whether or not these new forums continue to exist is based largely on whether or not there’s actual activity on it, since the cost of registering the domain and hosting the site is coming out of my own pocket now.

It’s official, and has been for about a week, but I will be moving to Philadelphia as a UPenn doctoral student in August.  I’ve got a brand spankin’ new e-mail address, and I am pretty excited.

I’ve uploaded some pictures from my stay in Philadelphia: http://gallery.theboatright.com/v/upenn/

I’ll probably get around to titling the pictures or giving little descriptions for each one someday.
