Hanging out in front of Lincoln Center waiting for the festivities to begin!

Laurel Glaser, Tracey Nguyen, me, Ling Shao

Me, Frederique Ruf, Dana Lukin That's my name!
All the graduates: Master students in front, followed by MDs, and then PhDs (we took up about 1 row)
Some people on the stage: George!, Diomedes, Terry, Desnick, Charney (gag), Morrison
Speaker Charlie Rose

Walking up the stage

Psychedelic picture of George hooding me! (Old digital camera doesn't handle dark spaces well) We realized afterwards that family members with an MD or PhD can also hood you. Gosh darn it, I could've had Dave AND my dad on stage with George! Pooh...

Me and George walking on stage after taking our picture with Charney. Note: the guy didn't even shake my hand when he handed me my degree! Why am I not surprised.... (I'm referring to the person responsible for firing Diomedes from the Graduate School Deanship. Grrrrr)

Can you find me and Laurel?

Happily hooded and official!

My misspelled degree (my middle name is Chih-hsin)

Me and some sexy mommas... Ha ha (Heather, Maria, and me)Ha ha ha, Sarah Ann and Ooi's facial expressions after seeing my misspelled degree! Sarah's hilarious!
Milling around, looking for a missing Andy
The HOOD

Audrey, Andy, Ooi, Maria, Heather, Sarah Ann, George with me, Mom, Dad or Dave (minus Dan and Noa who I missed seeing :( pooh) Diaz Lab! (missing Albert)
Me and the Boss - so happy we pulled it off!
Bruce trained George who trained me!

My family (missing a bro though)

Funky Lincoln Center sculptures hanging from the ceiling. Man, I wouldn't want that falling on my head....

And that makes it all official... I am NO LONGER a New Yorker!
