Unemployed, Homeless, College Graduate

Since graduating quite a lot has happened, but as my dad enjoys pointing out, I am currently an unemployed, homeless college graduate. I never thought it could be difficult to fill out any paperwork requiring my address, yet that very section has prevented me from filling out a number of things. Fortunately for me, my status is soon to change. In three-day's time, I should be an unemployed, renting college graduate. In a week's time I will be an employed, renting college graduate. Woot!

So a quick run down of the last week or so:
Last Saturday I had the best going away party a girl could ask for in Chicago. It was really awesome to see so many people come out to send me off.
Sunday's adventure will be omitted aside from seeing The Hangover. It was a great movie! (I wouldn't recommend it however if you are say... my parents)
Monday I watched as 4 years of my amassed possessions were carted away in under 40 minutes in exchange for a piece of paper by a guy with a confederate flag on his leg and his friend/worker. Have you ever considered how interesting it would be to be a mover/packer? I certainly wouldn't want to be the worker who did all the carrying, but the other guy got a glimpse into who I am. He saw my pictures, my dvds, my clothes, most everything I own. He got the 40 minute summary of Lydia. weird.
Tuesday I left Chicago. sigh.
Wedneday - Friday not much to report.
Saturday I reconnected with my roots! I had the best graduation party/family get together in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. I realized how time is flying by when my little cousin Jack drove me to the hardware store. We saved "big money at Menards" in order to purchase the necessary plumbing parts for a certain red neck, white trash activity. I'll not go into public detail or name names about said activity. Let's just say it was awesome, and maybe, just maybe, the Scotts Bluff County Sherrif should have paid us a visit.

So here we are. It's Sunday, June 14th and I have less than 24 hours here in the guest bedroom of my parents house. I've known this day was coming for over 6 months, but it never felt real. It still doesn't feel quite real. Tomorrow afternoon, I will embark on one of the biggest adventures of my life thus far. At my going away party and at my grad party people asked me if I was excited. I could see the excitement in their eyes, but my excitement? Its in there somewhere. It's hidden by the apartment details, the work papers, the bank questions, the checkin time, and the biggest obstruction is the fear. Oh, but don't worry, I think later this week I'll feel the excitement. By that time, I'll at least have a floor to sleep on under an adequate roof.

This brings us to tomorrow. Tomorrow, Monday, June 15th at 4:30 pm Montain time I'm "leaving on a jet plane." (I do, however, know when I'll be back again) I've got a bag full of work clothes, my laptop, my cell phone, and my family. Tomorrow with my seatbelt safely fastened and my seat and tray table in thier upright positions, another adventure begins.
