I am a GRADUATE!!! I finally have a degree to show for all this hard work. Or at least I will in June, lol. Graduation day was so much fun. I was literally beaming with pride for myself when I walked out there to shake hands with President Hall. My mom and dad were there, along with my sister and neice, and Andrew of course. This was a huge day for me because my parents, being older than most, were hoping they could make it to my HIGHSCHOOL graduation. They really didn't think they would both be here to see me graduate from college. To be honest, I wasn't sure that they would either. But they were there to see me walk, and I haven't been that excited in a long time! We all went to O'Charley's afterwards, and it was just a really great day.


I am all settled in to our new house now. I really love it. I'm getting used to the Ft. Campbell side of Clarksville, and I like it! It doesn't even feel like we live in the same town. We don't have a lot of stuff, but hopefully once I get a job we can get some more things and it will feel more like a home. We are having a house warming party on Friday for our friends, and I am excited for everyone to see it!


On the job front, I am looking every day. I sent my transcripts off today for Western KY, and I am in the process of reapplying. I took my GRE again on Saturday, and still didn't do great. :/ But I did better than last time, which I think is enough to get me in. I have been doing research for the program that I want, and I can already tell that it's going to be very intense and difficult. But it is also very interesting and I can't wait to start it. I am going to love being a librarian.


I am applying everywhere in Clarksville that I can think of, and have a couple of "possible" interviews. They are certainly not career moves, but they will pay my rent so Andrew doesn't have to pay everything lol. Bless his heart. I love him.


I am very excited about my life right now, and I feel less uneasy about it. I have faith that if I just keep praying about a job, one will come. :)

Finals, Flooding, and Finally Being Finished

Well. I am exactly one final away from being done with my Bachelor's degree. No more papers. No more classes. No more reading for displeasure. lol. Just one test. So weird. I can't believe it. I'm ready, though. I'm scared about the future a little because I still have no idea what it holds. But I'm ready.

We are all moved in to our new house. We don't have much stuff, so it looks kind of bare. And the stuff we do have doesn't match so it's not that attractive, lol. But it's a house just the same, and I really love it. Andrew and I are having a house warming party for all of our friends next weekend. It has been a stressful week what with finals and all the flooding that's going on. I am just very thankful that we didn't have any damages, that we are still able to make it to campus and that I'm still going to graduate on time. I hope that the roads are better by Friday so my parents can come to see me. I'd hate to think I have worked so hard for this and then they couldn't be here.

I have been applying for jobs everyday. Some of them are jobs that pertain to my Library career that I am embarking on. And some of them are hourly jobs that are just going to help me pay rent. At this point, I'll take anything I can get. I am running low on fundage. I take my GRE on Saturday at 1, and this is my last and final time to take it. I have been studying and I think I will do much better this time. I feel Western Kentucky in my near near future. Now all I can do is take this one test, walk that line and see where it leads me. :)
