I'm GRADUATING
On June 6th I walk. On June 7th I leave MIT...FOREVER.
This semester has been crazy and stressful. I was only taking one math class, but that one math class owned me. I was expecting to walk out with a C AT BEST. I left half the final blank. I had a C on the midterm. ...well...I guess everyone ELSE got owned by the class because somehow I got a B in the class. It's a christmas miracle, charlie brown!
Just waiting on grades from french and astro, but overall shaping up to be a good GPA and a good way to end my final semester here. Now I have two weeks of nothing.
Well, not nothing. Today is the 6th month "anniversary" of my boyfriend and I's first date. He is on his way back from Seattle at the moment, but should be arriving sometime tomorrow. I am going to drag him out to Killian Court with a brown-bagged bottle of Blanton's and two cigars. It's beautiful at twilight out there and no one's around to bother us. He brought me a bottle of Blanton's when we first met so that's what that's for, and the weather is finally nice enough again to go outside and enjoy some bourbon and a cigar. Then I'm sure we'll hit Crossroads. Yay :-)
I have a strong feeling we will also make it to Foxwoods sometime during this long break. Looking forward to that too. Then at least one set of parents arrives the 3rd, I think the others arrive the 4th, and it's going to be a juggling act plus craziness until I finally get on a plane. And then it's going to be more craziness once I start working for mum.
She's offering me a pretty great starting salary, and covering health insurance on top of that. She wants me to live with her as long as I can for ease etc, but I don't know how long that will last. I've lived independently for four years now, I don't think I can handle giving that up easily, especially now that she and my step-dad are more religious now. I don't want to impede on their life, and I don't want their life to impede on mine. Luckily apartments in Vegas are very decently priced and given my salary I will be more than able to afford a nice one. And if I have a roommate it's even better! But we'll cross THAT bridge when we come to it.
So yeah, that's my life in a nutshell. Today I have to drop off a box at USPS, do laundry, and make up some damn graduation announcements. I didn't get custom ones cuz I found out too late and they're probably stupid expensive anyway. But I want to be a good little granddaughter and send them out with a nice picture. I got lots of people a little TOO excited about this. Personally, I'm not looking forward to much to 5 hours of mind-numbing boredom in the hot sun. Oh well. One last hoop to jump through.
