Another Chapter Begins

Yay! I finally graduated!!!! And it was 1 year early! Because we all know how much I dislike school ;) haha.

So the ultimate tricky question now is........What are you going to do NOW?!

Well! I moved out of my apartment and moved into a friend's apartment for the summer. This is the ultimate learning experience for me in some aspects......I do not have a door, haha, and I do not have a closet and did I mention that my room is essentially 8 x 10 and is the on the third floor with a bunch of eaves covering half my room. I do love how I have a skylight! I have it open and I can hear the birds in the morning and the sun comes shining in and wakes me up so I can have a nice early start to a hopefully productive day! I've been here not quite a week, I'm almost all the way moved in and I'm loving it. I have a new roomie who loves to bake and cook and experiment with different recipes with healthy foods. I think this summer will help me to become more organized and eat better!

I also live next to a wonderful, sprawling park with a small series of lakes that make it nice to walk around in the morning on a good street where everyone seems to know each other and hang out.

I have a summer job as a Head Counselor for 2nd graders. It is for a non profit private almost kind of prep school in the area that has a summer day camp program. It should provide me with new windows of opportunity and help my resume look better. I'm excited for it and it starts in the middle of June.

Knowing me and always keeping busy, I'm taking advantage of my free time (what free time? yes I quit my old job at the end of May to give myself some!) and flying to Denver to see my bro! I am so excited to see him! It's been over 6 months.

I have been applying to different jobs and Americorps programs that will start in the fall and I'm just waiting on God to show me where He wants me to go and what job I should do.

I had a wonderful graduation, my parents flew up for a week and we went up to Maine near Acadia National Park. I definitely recommend going there if you haven't already! It is so beautiful there and I feel like there is so much to see and do! My dad stepped out of his comfort zone and bought some live lobster right off the boat and then cooked/prepared them himself (we don't like to see them lobsters jumping around banging at the pot lid to get out in that deathly hot tub). We also ran around trying to get a glimpse of lighthouses out there and we also took a small boat tour which took us around various islands and a lighthouse. It was so much fun. It was a wonderful vacation and I had a fun time with my parents! Now I just have to figure out how to get them to move out here to join me on the East Coast! :D
