So I graduated! It was awesome, a little bit sad, a little bit exciting, and I sit here with a lot of disbelief that its over... I mean there is always Grad school.... eventually right? So I hung out for a few days, celebrated, went to six flags with a few people, had a great time. Everyone is starting to pack up and disappear, a little spooky to say the least.
I know I will keep in touch with them all, I have always been good at keeping up with people farther away...
I came home on thursday to visit with the grandparents, since they were still out here from graduation. I brought half of my stuff down with me, to move home. While I have been here I have been applying for more planning jobs in the bay area, since that is were i want to end up. However its all ones that have been posted online, and I feel like there are so few people that actually gain a job that way, especially in a job market this way. But none the less I continue, cant hurt to try.
Monday I went out and was applying for serving jobs, so that possiably I can come back next week and have a job lined up. Come home, and find an email (side note, I finally sat down and wrote my internship company back letting them know my update and that I have decided to move home to find something permanent closer to a larger city) from Bob Brown (boss at streamline) congratulating me at graduating and letting me know he would like to offer me 3 months of work (full time) with a pay raise off last summers, to help develop an energy planning division, with the option to look for full time work elsewhere while doing it. And if it works and takes off and the division is found to be profitable and sustained, I could be up for a pay increase and continued employment. The man wants to help me out as much as he can...
I had to sleep on it, I had just settled down with the idea that I was going to be moving home and living with my parents working a service job until i found something, whenever that was.... and now, I'm heading back up , 5 hours north of SF to a beautiful place I am a little nervous to return to.
Honestly I realized that I need to just do what is best for me, and that best right now is to jump in feet first, if i run into the boy, I turn around and run the other way, oh be stuck in my tracks and figure out what to do from there.... but that should not stop me from forwarding my career and resume experience.... I am a big girl, lol..
In other news, I am absolutely not allowed to buy any more shoes, I am going back with 4 new pairs.... thats right ladies and gentlemen, 4 pairs.... never ever let me near a burlington coat factory... I never knew they had shoes, let alone ones on sale, and nice ones too... I ended up with a pair of black flats (needed desperately for months now) for $14.99.... a pair of nine west black pumps for 18.99 (my pumps have seen their days past) and then I bought a pair of purple snake pattern stilettos on monday (without my mothers knowledge, shed kill me if she knew about that pair, totally impractical and just plan hot and a have to have) for 19.99.... and then I walked into some other store... saying it was a bad idea with my mom and sister to look at purses for my sister... (little did i know it was a giant shoes store with a few purses!!! they are terriable!) and walked out with some green round toed pumps from Chinese Laundry, so comfy!
I will post pictures when I get home, I apparently left my camera in San Luis....
Also cute khakis, a kelly green tank, a turquoise blue short sleeve plaid shirt, levi shorts (always clutch in the fit department with levi's) an adorable jacket and a wonderful black skirt... all on sale of course in my mothers fashion... my mom wouldn't support my shoe habit, but clothes she was alright with if on sale... got to love being home a little bit....
And I finally got to go thrift store shopping (all of the above is sale rack shopping of course, I am with my mother after all) Found a wonderful jean jacket that fits me perfectly, it was the splurge at $10 but totally amazing and worth it. Also I picked up a nice purple sweater shirt that you layer over a tank, and a teal short sleeve sweater and just a plan white T that was like 2.50 and looked as if it had been more maybe once...
I love thrift store deals when you walk out with 4 new pieces for less them 25 bucks..
Oh and new silver bangle for my left arm, (from kohls) the older one was getting pretty shabby, and i found one I liked and that was small enough to stay on my wrist... pictures coming as well!
So I got my shopping fix in for a little while. lol.
Meanwhile I am trying to figure out a way to move my cat to my parents house if I can not take her to Arcata with me, many of the ad's say no cats : ( so I am trying to find her a 3 month home in slo or a ride to Murrieta to my parents house, or close by so she can get picked up and taken care of by my family til I can afford a place she can live at or I move back home...
So ladies and gentlmen I will be moving to Arcata with my shoe collection that is proably a little over the top for humboldt county, and not living at home out of college, at least not quite yet.... guess I got what I asked for... knock on wood...
Til I get back to the camera! Hope you summer seasons are going well and you are soaking up the rays, safely of course!
