I graduated. Now the learning really starts.

"Now what?"

To my pleasant surprise, I've been ambushed less frequently than I anticipated with the horrible words, "So do you have a job yet?"
...Do i even have to answer that?
I'll answer it anyway: no I don't have a job yet, but I have two interviews this week and between now and the time I get a job, my mom's advice is to not drink more beer than I can buy. Good advice, mom.

"So what do you do with your time?"
I run. I watch Law & Order SVU. I eat goldfish and sit in the sun on my parents' deck with the beer that I still have money to buy. I hang out with my mom and dad and have dinner with them. When I try to go out at night with an old friend from highschool, I call my daddy ("daddy" is the appropriate name used when I want something from him) to rescue me from the less than thrilling bar scene and uncertain long walk alone back to my car. I wallow. I sleep. I run. But on the best occasions so far (I've only been out of school one week), I've shared food, drinks, tears, and laughter with Kaitlyn, one of my "saving graces" - from now on, I think that's what I'll call my best ladies.

My saving graces:

• The one I've known forever, we've shared the good, the bad, and the ugly.
• The sweet one- the one who makes me think differently and see things from another angle.
• The one who can live with me (that says A LOT).
• The one I cuddle with. (I'm not talking about my boyfriend)
• The one I don't always see or talk to, but she's totally there for me and I'll see her this summer! 
• The new one. The one who gave me toilet paper and tissues, the one who cried with me.

I'm the one who got lucky enough to have those ones in my life^^^
