it's been too long
So I haven't posted in more than a month, and I'm disappointed in myself. So much has happened and so much has changed.
Graduation was a blur. The fam came and the ceremony was short and sweet. Lauren and Jie moved out, so it's just been Laura and I in the Vortex. It's pretty amazing finally having a room to myself.
I guess the next big life event was my trip to Japan. I'll have to dedicate a separate entry for that. I made copious notes and observations while I was in Tokyo. If I don't type them up soon, God knows what will happen to them.
On the job front, I finally have an interview (al-hamdu lillah). I've been realizing that basically, when you're looking for a job, it's all about who you know. Thank goodness Laura's mom is looking out for us. Northrup Grumman, please want me.
So far this summer, I've been applying for jobs, exploring other options (grad school, air force, peace corps), working a couple days at Borders a week, and going to happy hour and karaoke almost everyday. It's a good life. And people take pity on me for being jobless.
Nothing really on the guy front. I've got my eye on one in particular, but I don't see him that often. I like that he reminds me of a certain character in a certain movie trilogy from the 80s. I've got to figure out what I'm doing with my life first. For example, I don't even know where I'm going to be living a month from now.
What I really need to do/want to do is work for a year, save up some money, then apply for grad school at American University in Cairo. That is looking more and more attractive everyday. And in order to save this money, I would inevitably have to live at home. I feel like the trade is worth it though.
