Weekend Update

Lack of blogging on the weekend has left me with little to do. Ok, that's a lie. But still, I really enjoy blogging and don't want me eager reader(s) to lose interest!

Finally had some time to work on the home office. Pictures below:

As you can see, I moved my presidential education award (which my mom had framed, even though a million other high school students also received the same award) to make way for my college diploma. It's hanging above my desk, empty, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my diploma (or diplomas? Do double majors get two?). Not only have I cleared a path from the door to my closet, but I've also done some rearranging: moving the bed out from against the wall and moving my desk to a different wall. My room was perfectly preserved from right before I went away to school -  I've hardly spent any time here in the last four years, so there wasn't any need to change it. But I realized that I needed a change. The new setup was a big morale boost, because now it gives me somewhere to work, and also somewhere different that won't bring up memories of high school. I've also been able to fill two (I have a whole shelf just for my Jackie Kennedy books) bookcases worth of books...and that's after I set aside a big box and a half of books to be sold this weekend at the garage sale. Some I've read...some I haven't....so lots of reading to be done!

And yes, my fish is alive and well. I was worried that Jean Claude, my semi-agressive tropical beta fish, would not survive the two-and-a-half hour drive from school because my dad thought it would be a great idea to tie up the fishbowl in a plastic bag. I was worried he wouldn't get enough oxygen. But luckily, he survived. My dad wanted to flush him down the toilet, but I'm glad he made the move with me. Jean Claude keeps me sane. 

In other news, the weekend was uneventful. I decided that I would suspend my job searching on the weekends. Everyone needs a break, and plus, since no one is working, there won't be any new job postings or anyone to get my emails. So I'll resume once the work week begins again (which in this case is Tuesday). I'm also hoping that the buzz I generate last week will yield some results. And it would also figure that maybe this week will be the week I get a job, since I've finally unpacked my stuff, which would be great, but terribly ironic.

I did relive some high school memories while working the post-prom for my sister. My entire family was there - my mom was running around making sure brownies and such were laid out, and my dad was just making sure there was enough room for the Holy Spirit. My sister looked great, and she had a great time, despite the familial presence. 

For the week ahead...meeting up with my favorite soon-to-be-married couple, Preston and Sarah, to hit up the local Memorial Day parade and get ice cream (unfortunately, it won't be Purity, but I'll have to survive). And these grad invites are driving me crazy! I have to figure out the correct printing format. I'll be joining a gym...I've decided I'm going to do the 5k at my church and possibly a 30 mile ride for the Ride for Roswell. I'll keep you posted. But I can't wait to get swimming again. And I'll be looking for temp work and volunteering...and, as always, looking for jobs....
