  It's been a while since I've updated.. where to start.
I live in Burlington now.  I graduated high school on the ninth of June and then the next day I moved over here to live with my cousin and look for a job.  I'm on the waiting list for the fall at App but in for the spring either way.  I'll find out if I can go in the fall anytime now and if I can't then I'll go to Alamance Community College for a semester and keep living here until the spring semester.  Either way, It'll be good... I'm really excited about the future.
I got a job at Bejamin's Seafood Room here in Burlington.  I'm a Valet.
Let me tell you about the restaurant.  Seven years ago, this guy Benjamin Christopher Russell opened up "B. Christopher's (Eclectic Southern Dining)" followed shortly by another one in Chapel Hill.  About six months ago, he opened up "B's Bistro" right next to B. Christopher's in Burlington.  It was more lunch and French orientated.  Now, he is opening Benjamin's Seafood Room right next to the Bistro and with the addition of the third restaurant, they will add valet parking for all three of them.  My cousin, David, worked in B. Christophers and then the Bistro when it opened.  Now he'll be Valeting with me too.  I'm really excited about it and I think I'll make good money on the tips.
So that's that.  Hmm.. It's weird not being in High School anymore.  I keep thinking about the last like two weeks of school and then graduation.  It was all surreal and I can't believe its all in the past.  I remember the last day of regular classes when everybody was yelling and screaming when school was over and driving wildly out of the parking lot and I was sitting there waiting for my friend and it was just crazy to think it'd be the last time we were all leaving school like that.  Things like that just get me.  Then I think about graduation day and I'm just like damn, I was there, and so was everyone else, and we all graduated... And now it's done.  I don't know, it's hard to explain how I feel about it.  It's also a really good feeling too.  Even though I'll miss so many things, it's an amazing free feeling to not be tied down to any one place.  It's one of those beginning of the rest of my life feelings, and I definitely like it.
I feel bad for my mom, she's living all alone now, and until yesterday I hadn't seen her since the day after I graduated.  She says she's doing alright though.  We ate some Quizo's.  That Baja chicken sub thing was amazing. 
I'm still training for the job, the restaurant doesn't even actually open until next friday, the 6th I think.  They've been bringing in everyone that'll be doing anything at the restaurant and training us for like a week now.  It's been pretty cool, I've met a lot of good people there.  I think it'll be really awesome working there, I can't wait til we open.
But Dave's home and we have to go play some guitar hero.
