Life After Graduation
Once again I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever...things have been crazy. Since I arrived back in the US, I went straight to Waco for my graduation, then I had the process of moving me out of my apt in Waco, find a job, and then go to the doctor MRI and then to find out I do need knee surgery. Oh the joy!!
Graduation was beyond great I had my whole family there!! I must admit I was nervous I haven't had my whole family at an event sense my high school graduation! Oh and I had the biggest ordeal to get my youngest sister to graduation, because her mother didn't want my sister around my real father...it was drama, but after pleading, yelling and finally tears we were able to get her there. I'm so excited that everyone made it... it was also the first time Matt has meet my other side of my family. We were able to get everyone to stay in the same hotel that night, and I planned to have a game night as a way for people to mingle and visit with each other. It turned out to be a great success!! Though my Dad for some reason was acting very distance it was still a great time. Graduation it self was long and boring, but the night before Cathrine Winston and myself all entertained ourselves by beadalzing my graduation cap with sparkles on it. It was faboulus...you were able to pick me out from the crowd, that and my wonderful shoes. I was so nervous when I was about to cross the stage...I stode there thinking...smile and wave at the camera, turn the tassel, take the diploma with the left hand, shake the dean's with the right, and don't trip!!! I'm happy to say that everything went smoothly. I really couldn't have asked for a better graduation present other than having everyone I love to be there with me!
I do have one complaint...The special music at every Baylor graduation is horrible. Lucky me had a male tenor sing "Take me to the River", I wanted to take him to the river and drown him...it was horriable!!! Really is that the best Baylor University can come up with!! Rememeber we are striving to become a 1st tier University...I think finding a good singer for graduation should be on the 2012 program.
After graduation we all went to eat at the Elite Grill, it was great. I just floated around the room and thanked everyone for coming, took a ton of pictures (I think I had a perminant smile plastered on my face...for one my gradmother is known to take the pictures at the oddest times...usually when you are about to take a bite of something). John, made a wonderful little speech and I and most of the ladies eneded up getting all teary eyed. Later that night, I went and celebrated at Treffs one last time, and sang to the Piano Man.
Question why is it that when I move it is always extremely hot, or rainy...This time did not fail, for it was both..and the humidity was horriable. I was so lucky to have Matt and my Brother there to do my heavy lifting. My mother found me a storage shed while I was away in Europe...little did she know though she chose one almost in Crawford!! We had to drive forever to drop off my stuff. Another question...I've only lived in this apt for 15 months, and I did kept it clean, but I accumulated so much crap!!! I filled so many trash bags of random crap...where did it all come from! In my next apt. I need to work on not being such a pack rat.
Okay, sorry but I've now got to run, I've got a meeting with a future employeer, wish me luck!
