so where to begin? well, the highlight would be buying a car yesterday. it feels prettttty great. its a black Honda accord with tinted windows, a wicked nice system, and keyless entry (which is fab for the winter, so you can start the car and warm it up without getting into it). I don't get the check for my car loan until next month, but the car definitely would have been sold by then so my grama bought it, and i'll give her the check once i get it. the best part is that i still have $1300 in my bank account from graduation after all the clothes and shit i've bought, so i can pay for gas and whatnot with that until i start my job on the 31st after i get back from Oceancity :) I'm so excited for the job, and i found out one of my cousins Lauren worked there last summer and she said the money she made was so ridiculously amazing. i get to listen to my ipod, work on the computer, and make $12/hour, plus the weekends i have off. working til 12:30 am is the only drag, only cause i really won't be able to see john until the weekends. but our trip to Ocean City is going to be much needed.. a week in a 2-story condo on the beach? Yes. not to mention my parents are going to be gone 25 miles away all day and most nights for my brothers baseball tournaments, so john and i basically get it to ourselves ;) Major pumpage. I schedule my classes for college on thursday, and i'm SO excited to start next month. The sooner i start = the sooner i go to FIT. I've been talking with my admissions advisor there and she motivates me so much to do good at BCC so I can get to where i want to be. I'm so happy to be out of highschool and slowly entering the real world.. every time I've driven by the highschool it feels like i've been gone forever, and i really thought i would be sad at some point, but i feel so exhilirated. i don't have to pretend anymore, and i don't have to give a rats ass what people think of me. i can be myself, and i can do what i want and i love it. i haven't felt this alive in.. well, ever. life is lovely.
