House-n-School-n-Work
I will be one relieved chica after May 4th rolls around, whether I pass my Series 7 Stockbroker Examination or not. I have three weeks to write 5 history journal papers, 1 oral history paper, 1 british literature paper, 1 paper on investing for retirement, 2 finals, an online course to finish, and one bitch of a horrible test that OF COURSE is scheduled during my week of finals. May 4th at 9 a.m. is my day of doom or my day of great elation. I'm studying for it, I'm going to try my hardest, but hell if I will get all upset if I fail. I just want to graduate from college, dammit.
Plus, I start work on monday. To say that I'm nervous is an understatement. I'm shaking in my boots. You know, all that anticipation before a person starts and the worries that flow through your head even when you are trying to sleep. What if they realize that I'm a big stupid fart that doesn't know anything? What if, what if. I have to keep reminding myself that it's just a job and not the end of the world. Sometimes it sure feels like it's the end of my world!
I'm actually doing the walk for graduation. I said before that I would never go through with it, but now that it's here, I want to do it so bad. I've sacraficed alot to get where I am today. Hell, I almost died six months ago, it's quite an accomplishment for me to be graduating with a Bachelors degree right now. So who cares if my ass hurts from sitting on a metal chair for three hours while listening to random names being called? I'm gonna do it! Now, feel free to send me tons of money.
The appraisal on the house that I am buying is already done, it actually appraised for $5,000 more than what I paid for it. Now I'm in the process of shopping for homeowner's insurance. The closing is still tentatively set for May 27th. Oh, why must I wait so long? Dusty and I were thinking of having a sort of weekend get together after we get settled in for all of our friends to come and visit. (that means you guys!) What do you guys think?

Julie, I think it's a great idea that you walk for graduation. You really do deserve that spot in the lime-light (sp?) You are going to start to feel so much better now that things are beginning to wind down. I'm sure a ton will be removed after each paper, ect. is turned in. After this is all over, you'll feel like a totally different person! I can't even fathom how much stress this has to be!
9:54 AMThanks for your support, Melissa. If it weren't for your support, I don't think I'd be here today! Seriously, I'm not kidding. Thanks so much. :)
11:04 AMYou're walking because I forced you to! haha... You told me you didnt' want to but I told you I wanted you to. I knew you would regret if you didn't. It's worth sitting there on a hard metal chair and getting stumpass for the recognition. I'll have to sit there too to watch you of course.... then sit through another one in December... Argh... Maybe you shouldn't have done it... maybe I won't either... just kidding!
11:13 AMTrue, you did force me to and now I'm glad that I am. It is going to suck having to sit on those damn metal chairs 2 times in one year! Love ya.
