I'm done... sorta

So, I turned in my thesis on May 3rd and got my Honors medallion (it's a walrus, which is our seal, get it?), and got my regalia and everything. Passsed all my finals and I have now graduated. Had more stuff around my neck than would actually fit, but it was cool. Happy that I am now the proud owner of a BA, freaked out that I have to find a job and a place to live and start school all over again in the fall. I've never had to make so many of my own decisions and arrangements before- it's weird. Also freaked out because I'm done with Alfred. It hasn't really sunk in yet- I'm not sure that it will anytime soon, since I'd not be at Alfred at this time anyway, as it's summer. I need a job here to earn money, since I quit the counseling job so I could have more free time and be closer to my family.
I'm feeling some of the same loneliness that always accompanies the end of the year- my parents are cuddly and good, but it's not the same. I also have lots of things to do- such as unpacking and going to the bank and whatnot- tomorrow is Tuesday and voting for the school board, so I'll do that tomorrow and maybe get some books from the library and put some money in my bank account. And then I have to write GW a check and fill out paperwork that makes me a real student there. And then find a job here and there. So much to do. And the BA in Comparative Cultures is not so useful. Hence the Grad School.

Oh, btw, seeing my name multiple times in the program was very nifty.

Watching Colonial House right now, on PBS. Very nifty- I would totally like to be on one of these shows in this series.
