Hey Congrats! :-D

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.

A blessing I always liked while working at an Irish Import shop while in college and particularly applicable to a recent graduate I think. Seeing queridalaurinha's comment reminded me of it. :-D

Wise words! A nice reminder for reflection and self awareness in the upcoming weeks. Lately I've been getting new longings and desires of things I want to pursue. Now that schooling is no longer a responsibility, I can begin the planning process for it all. Redecorate the apartment? Travel the world? Move to the city? Settle down on a farm, marry a ranch hand, and raise a flock of ducks? If I wanted, I could do any of these things!

But wow, what an impact. The fact that I'm graduated now is still sinking in.

Those are only natural! It's such a relief to find oneself finally free of school. The future looks bright and shiny and the possibilities are many. You can do anything! Though, ever the practical person I am, I'd suggest you start with getting a job. ;-p And, failing that I'd suggest starting with redecorating your apartment. :-D

Heehee, marrying a ranch hand and raising a flock of ducks seems like an interesting (though likely not particularly financially profitable) prospect. ;-) Have a ranch hand in mind?

Ahaha. Keeping me on the straight and narrow, Caitiy! And setting my priorities straight. XD I must agree that finding a job comes first. I'm still searching, with no new leads at the current moment, but something good is bound to turn up. It's all just a numbers game after all, isn't it? With consistent searching, something must happen.

I don't have a particular ranch hand in mind for this instance, but since I live in the midwest I don't think finding one would be very difficult. I think you're right though... ducks might not be the most profitable. Especially if they attempt to head south every winter time, and abandon the farm. Though we could clip their wings.

Can you pet ducks? Do ducks like to be petted? I'm not sure. But they eat bread crumbs. Taking care of them shouldn't be too difficult... I should think. We just need a reaaaaally big pond. XD

Well, let's see... if you were in a Harvest Moon game all you'd have to do would be buy/build/install a pond and depending on the version of the game either buy eggs or the ducks just sort of show up. ;-p Then you have to feed and pet the ducks every day (and make sure not to leave them outside at night or if it's raining) for a few weeks and they'll be tame. :-D ::Nods:: Yup, piece of cake. As for the ranch hand... well, all you have to do there is find an acceptable bachelor of the ones available. Then talk to him every day, give him a gift every day (better to give him his favorite thing) and attend all festivals with him. And, after some cut scenes occasionally involving a blue feather, voila! Instant husband. ;-p

As for the job... Hmm... no Sim game there (well, aside for The Sims I suppose). I guess you'll have to just go about it the way everyone else does and be persistent. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I know something good will come along soon! :-D

I looooove Harvest Moon!! And your extensive knowledge of the game is entirely commendable ( ... )
