I got an offer for a part time job today at the natural beauty company The Body Shop, which is good news because I am running into dire straights for money. I will still need to find another job because working 20 or so hours a week will not be enough to pay my bills longterm, but I have to be grateful for finding something because now I will not be homeless.
On top of that, Angela and I are going to go stuff our faces with a certain secret dinner food at a bug and fruit themed restaurant tonight, so I really cannot complain today. Potterfest continues tonight at my apartment at 9 (the fourth film), and then a group is going to see the sixth one tomorrow night at midnight, woooo!!!
On today's agenda: vacuuming? (maybe later....), reading for awhile, postponing thinking about grad school and narrowing my choices.
Today's theme: Chin up buttercup, I insist.

Finding my sea-internet legs...
For those of you wondering, my sea-internet legs are my jelly-locked knees, resulting from my nerves about stumbling onto the internet to post my thoughts for the world to peruse. While it would be lovely to get a band of readers and devoted friends to read this, I think it will serve me well to sort my thoughts out on well...not paper. Ultimately, writing is what I do, and I love to read. Blogging seems like a good fit for those interests. So welcome to my world; I hope you enjoy the ride as much I do.
Yesterday was such a good day. I spent all day on Kelley's island with my boyfriend (Travis) and his family (they own property on the island). We took a long bike ride around the coast of the island. The scenery was stunning, the bike ride was painful, and all-in-all, things were wonderful. Afterward, we went swimming in the lake to cool off and ended the night walking around town and roasting a single smore by the campfire. I couldn't have created a better day, really. I love lakes, smores, campfires, and beautiful scenery, so it was a winning combination. I wore 50 sunscreen, and I still managed to get burned across my nose and my freckles are forming colonies and planning a mutiny--thanks Ireland!
Today, in contrast, was a lot like a camel--it had its ups and downs. I started off the morning nearly finishing the third season of lost and grocery shopping, which was painful because it reminded me about the fact that I have to find a job soon because I am really running out of money. I cleaned just about the whole apartment, sent out some more resumes, hit Taco Bell with Danielle, and baked two pans of shortcake.
Onto another post-graduate day tomorrow. I have an early job interview with an insurance company, which I'm not optimistic about, but I'll give it a decent shot.
Okay college graduate, enter the world.
