All Grown Up. Almost.

So last Thursday I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Concentration being Creative Writing (Fiction), and my minor as Physics!

Graduation day was interesting. The first time both my mom and my dad have been within 8 feet of each other. They were civil, and I am grateful.


Boyfriend and I just following the ceremony!

I don't feel any different. It's nice that that chapter of my life is now complete, and I can move on. But I'm still going to miss the school, and my friends here.

But I'm ready to move on. Unfortunately, I'm still stressed out. I forgot to turn in my immunization form to my new graduate school, so now there is a hold on my account and I can't sign up for my classes. I'm having to cut my long mother's day weekend at home short in order to get that taken care of ASAP.

On Tuesday I have orientation for my new job. Thursday is my first day of training. I still need to get solid white sneakers for work. It's going to be interesting, to say the least. I hope they give me enough hours to cover my rent.

So far I have read one book for fun. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I got it as a Christmas gift two years ago, and I finally had time to read it. Read it in a day. It was awesome. :] Now I just need to slowly devour the unread books on my shelf before I can start reading new books on my Kindle.

I also need to start with my Zombie Apocalypse Training again, and going to Aikido. In these last two semesters I've put on more pounds than I'm happy admitting, and I need to fix that. :/

On the bright side, the Florida weather is being awesome. Yes, hot as usual, but I'm enjoying the sunshine. :) Hopefully this summer ends up being awesome, and leads to better things to come!
