Yup
So, I'm done with college...
But still not officially a graduate. Yet. That's gonna happen on Saturday. Heck, I'll even count tomorrow, when senior grades get officially posted. It's weird because I worked really hard this semester (like usual) and yet I feel sort of like I let at least one of my professors down, somehow. Maybe they're just pissed because I'm leaving and want to break up with me before I break up with them. Ha!
Yesterday I finished my last final, turned in that FIVE ILL books I still had out from my last research paper, picked up my last set of cords for graduation, and turned in my last green timesheets. I guess it doesn't get more final than that. And I thought I would be totally relieved and excited and hyped up, but really I just felt tired, and sort of in a funk...maybe disappointed that I wasn't all jazzed up? It was really weird.
This is also my last week at work, which means I will be unemployed for at least a week (except for house-sitting). I am looking at a different position at the lab where I work now, but I don't know when it will be available full-time, so I don't know if I should look for something else in the meantime. Maybe I should get a temp job? I also need to visit my new school, and the next week or two would be best for that. It's just hard to buy plane tix when you aren't working...
Amy decided she is moving out :( which is good for her, but sad for us. Ever since she and Seth have started getting along (fairly recently) it's made life a whole lot easier (for me). I am super-excited that she gets to live in her own house and is not going too far away! Hopefully someone else will move in for June/July/Aug to help with rent. I mean, who wouldn't want to live here with us???
Big graduation party on Saturday with the families! Stop by if you're in town-- we're having a cook-out! Bring a party tray if you want to contribute, but you should probably just show up regardless.
