sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Ok...so our internet has been really shady lately and it kept going in and out and kicking me offline and being all kinds of messed up. But, I think it's back, which is good news. I've been pretty lost without it. So I'll recap some stuff that's happened in the past few days or so.
May 6 - I graduated from college! I think I already wrote about that...but it's still very exciting. It hasn't sunk in yet but i'm getting there. It's really weird to think of myself as an actual grown-up. Sometimes I still feel like i'm a kid. It might be because i'm around kids all day, but still. It's weird to think I won't be coming back here in August. And i'm like, trying to savor every drive around Rock Hill, everyway Winthrop looks, how it feels to be down here, etc. I think my 4 years has made me half Yankee and half southern belle. I swear i'm going to go home saying "y'all". I couldn't be happier with my experience here, and I am sad to see it go. I've grown up so much and discovered so much of myself while i've been here that I can't imagine ever having staying in Ohio for school--no that there is anything wrong with it, I guess I just needed to get away. And now i'm ready to go back home. Being away made me appreciate Cincinnati and my family and friends there. I'm very anxious to get back.
This past weekend I went to Myrtle Beach with Ashleigh. I drove by myself and that was kinda boring, but it went by pretty fast I guess. On Friday night we went to dinner, walked on the beach, then drank at Cheeseburger in Paradise (first time i'd ever been there even though we have one at home in Eastgate). Saturday we got up, ate lunch, laid on the beach--we got in the water but it was freezing--and I got a little sunburned. Then we went to Broadway at the Beach where we ate dinner (at Senor Frogs and they were way expensive and the food wasn't that great) and went shopping. I bought the coolest shirt that says "Taking life with a grain of salt, swimming in a sea of margaritas". :) I love it. Then we hit the bars. We started at Margaritaville which was cool cause they had live music and adarondack chairs to sit in. The guy played some pretty good music I heard Sweet Caroline twice that weekend! By the time we left there we were feeling pretty good and we went to Broadway Louies. There we had some fun. We got hit on by these 2 guys who wouldn't leave us alone. We met another guy when we got outside and he bought us beer but then the place was closing...I know I texted a lot of people and even called one. Ha, it was a fun night. Sunday I came back here.
Monday was my 22nd birthday! I didn't do anything since the weekend was my birthday celebration. I went to the library and Wal-mart...fun times. My dad asked me if I felt old and I told him no, but he told me that he felt old because i'm 22 now. And in a way, I do feel kind of old. When my mom was 22 she had me. I think there is going to be a celebration for my birthday and graduation when I get home, i'm very much looking forward to that.
Yesterday I was so exhausted cause I was up til like 1 on Monday night on the phone with Sarah Brown so when I got home from school I slept from 4:30 - 8:15. I couldn't fall asleep til after 11 last night but I felt rested when I woke up this morning, which was nice. I only have 3 and a half more days of school--i'm so ready to be done. I love teaching, but substituting is kinda hard. And I mean, it's the same class but it's the end of the year so they are as ready to be done as I am. I just do what I can to keep them semi-calmed down and get to 3:00 everyday. I have so much end of the year checklists and stuff to do that I'm not looking forward to.
This weekend i'm going home so I can work since it's been 2 weeks since i've been in my store. Hopefully i'll get to hang out with some people too. Then next Wednesday I drive back home! I'm excited but that means I have to find a real job, clean my room, and live with my parents again. But I love summer and i'm looking forward to going to Red's games and hanging out with my friends a lot.
I watched the Grey's Anatomy finale and balled, it was so sad. I love that show.
I get a new cell phone on June 5, i'm going to see The Fray at Bogarts on June 7 with Sam and Ashley, and July 15 I get to see Wicked in Chicago!!! yay!!
Ohhh I went shopping today and got a skirt for $7.50 at Target. I talked myself out of buying shoes on sale cause I don't think i'd ever really wear them, they were a size too big, and they kinda hurt my feet. But, they were really hot. I bought a jean skirt and a shrug (I think?) at Old Navy--talked myself out of buying more stuff there too. And now i'm just sitting here listening to my iTunes and waiting for good tv to come on.
