There comes a time in everyone's life when a new chapter begins. This weekend I realized that time has come for me. I started this journal 4 years ago in the intent to find out more about myself and put to paper many of my thoughts and experiences as a way to leave some sort of mark of those times behind. On Saturday, I graduated from college. ( Read more... )

So I graduate from college today. It's exciting, but I've also got so much more on my mind. Tom almost left last night because he's sick of our apartment, and he wants to go for like a month. My dad was admitted to the hospital at 2am because he was throwing up blood and is sick... again. Half my family didn't want to drive to come to the ( Read more... )

I can't sleep, so I thought I would get up and write. Things have been really good lately. Tom and I have all our stuff moved into our new place. Granted, the only real furniture we have is a TV stand and an air mattress, but at least it's ours. Let me tell you, you don't realize how much a couch is a luxury until you don't have one ( Read more... )

Moved in to the new apartment. It's beautiful, except for the fact that everything is in boxes and on the floor, and we have no furniture, and sleeping on the floor, and shit is scattered everywhere. For being not the neatest person in the world, and THIS being messy for me should say something. I am just frustrted that I'm fucking broke, that I ( Read more... )

So, I need to find $300, among my very outstanding debt of $25,000 just to graduate. Without this $300, I get no diploma.

Anyone want to make a small contribution of any kind? Let me know.

I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm on the hunt for a new job, but waiting to hear back.

Ever since school's ended, I've hit a pretty big lul. My days are free, and I'm just working nights at the restaurant. Tom and I have been getting to spend more time together, and it's been good... really really good. As each day passes, and we talk and laugh, and even argue a little bit more, it really hits me how amazing he really is and how ( Read more... )

They admitted my dad to the hospital this morning. Something about checking his amnona levels and toxicans in his stomach. I might be making another trip down to South Fl tonight, depending on what my mom says this evening ( Read more... )

So after suffering through my exams yesterday while being sick, I get home to a note on the door, and an Incredible Hulk party hat. I was instructed to put on the hat and knock on the door for a "special greeting". I open the door, and to my suprise, Tom and one of my roommates decorated the house for a congrats for being done with college, full ( Read more... )

It's funny how life works, and I always think this. As soon as you have everything worked out, it gets turned upside down. Whether something you witness, experience, or feel... it just never ceases to amaze me.

So today is officially my last day of college. I have three exams today: 8am, 10am, and 2pm. I got to my 8am class and my professor said if anyone didn't want to take the final and keep the grade they have, they can leave... so I did. I have a B in that class. Now I have two exams left before I'm a college graduate ( Read more... )
