well then.
first of all... this whole computer sitting in the middle of the living room thing has gotta stop. i can't wait to actually start cleaning/getting rid of stuff and re-settling in, since it looks like i might be here for a while.
the above, however, is debatable. if, by mid-june, the job search still isn't very promising, i've decided i'm moving to the beach. i would be perfectly content to get a job at a popcorn stand, go to the beach during the week, and to watch the sunrise over the ocean and the sunset over the bay for the summer. there isn't much to keep me here, i only have a very few people i care to make plans with in the area, and i'm sure they'd be perfectly willing to visit me at the beach. but again, as nice as that sounds, a real job would be nicer. on a semi-related note, has anyone used the career center to hold recommendation letters before? i'm emailing some of my profs tomorrow to ask for recs, but i'm not sure exactly how it works up there. any info/suggestions would be appreciated.
anyways. long time, no real post. i convocated, then i commenced. great fun, much drama, whatever. it's over and done with.
a few days after graduation hell was over, aaron came to columbia for a few days, and then we headed to miami. besides a few minor setbacks (caused primarily by my extreme travel paranoia) everything went better than i ever could have imagined. the weather was windy but wonderful, no serious sunburns haha, our hotel was gorgeous, and i had an absolutely wonderful time with him. we had a couple days when we got back here, as well. we walked for about 13 hours in D.C., minus two hours for dinner with my sister. i feel this warrants a special mention - my sister likes him. she doesn't like anyone!!!! this is big news. no reactions as of yet from the parents, but that's to be expected after what happened last time.
he left for philly today, and then tomorrow he's headed back to st. louis. i don't know when i'll see him again. i'm handling it surprisingly well, i think. i didn't cry until he left, and after i woke up from a much-needed nap, i didn't spend the rest of the day crying. well, a couple minutes. but i'm still very proud of myself. granted in a day or two it'll hit me and i'll be a mess, but for right now i'm very pulled-together and that doesn't happen often.
i'm going shopping tomorrow for interview clothes with my sister. i feel like i'm jinxing myself. but i think she's more excited than i am. it would be nice to start feeling like an adult, but i have to say i'm quite enjoying being lazy. hygiene is my greatest responsibility right now, and i think i can deal with that for a little while. i do enjoy showering.
i think i need to go to sleep. skimming back over this entry has me slightly disturbed at the lack of coherent thoughts.
i think the missing is going to hit when i try to go to sleep tonight :\
