Life is good
So yes I haven't updated in quite some time but it's only because things have been going so well and thus going by so quickly. But that's a good thing too especially when one is a graduating senior. ;-)
So yeah I'm officially graduating in sixteen days. And I am not just simply graduating either. I will be graduating with honors distinction and cum laude! Not bad for a rediculously over worked, stressed, but determined engineering major. I am quite proud of myself especially given the low grade times freshman and sophomore year....I came back! Take that Drexel! :-P
To continue good happy news, Jeff and I hit our one year anniversary this past weekend which of course meant the Pi Nu Hershey trip where everything first began to a point. The fact that we required a movie night with brothers/sisters the following night to finally get things to happen is a minor detail really! ;-) But I have to say I'm soooo unbelievably thankful that things did happen cause I have to say I couldn't be happier. Jeff is absolutely amazing and I love him. I don't think I can imagine life without him honstly. I really am lucky. And even better come July 2nd we will both be joining my family for a cruise to Greece and Turkey my dream trip! I can't wait it's gonna be so incredible. And the best part is getting to share it with him. He got a new camera for the trip two weekends ago and both of our families have started talking and planning for the trip. We're gonna have a blast! Now if he'd just let me see his passport lol.
Other wonderful exciting news...Mary, Ashley, and I got the keys to our new house today!! It still needs a lil bit of work but I think it's going to be the perfect house. I'm looking forward to moving into a new place after graduation, a house no less ya know? I think it's a good step. All these other "growing up" steps tho are not nearly as simple. I still have to go get an actual bank account, both checking and savings as well as a credit card since I will finally be rid of AJ Drexel Bank and have no past credit to my name. These are big changes and tho a lil scary I wanna be fully independant and on my own. I know I can do it! I'm really proud of myself thus far. Although, I do have to admit I never imagined the end of my college career as turning out the way it actually has. But ya know the way it is now is so much better than what I had thought anyways! So that's a very good sign!
All in all things are really, really good. It's been a long, hard fight to get to this point but I've made it. Work with Merck will begin July 17th, a month after graduation....not a bad deal at all. I'll have time to move in and get myself settled into the new house. Then onto graduation fun times including Jeff and I's parents meeting for the first time over dinner. I'm sure things will be wonderful, I adore Jeff's family and while mine is kooky and scary I can't imagine my family would scare them too far away. ;-) And both sets of parents are looking forward to it all so I'm happy. Then it's some relax and family visiting time before we ship out to Venice, Italy to board the cruise for a week and a half. Ooooooh I can't wait! Everything for the next two months is going to be crazy and busy and hectic but it's going to be the best two months ever!! :-)
And now there's lightning outside to watch that's absolutely gorgous so I think I'm going to go relax and enjoy it for a change. :-)
