Graduation day was awesome!! I got up in the morning and got ready for the rehearsal at 10am. That lasted until about 11am. Mom, Lisa and Richard arrived at my place at about 12:30pm. We decided to take the car to STU at 1pm and luckily were able to find a parking spot. Although some guy in a ridiculously large truck almost backed into us. Mom, Richard, Sam and Lisa went and got seats while I went into James Dunn to get instructions with the other graduates. It weas alittle discouraging the amount of time that the university allotted for the graduates to get into apohabeticla order. Seriously, we just finished a degree and there were posters on the wall for each letter. Still they thought we needed 45+minutes to do this. Then went and sat for a long time for the graduates to get their hood and alumni card. Apparently beng a member of the alumni gets people really good discounts on their insurance. hmm.... I got a bad burn on my chest where the gown opened and my dress went into a V neck. It feels hot and achy all the time, I've been putting moisturizer on it, but it still aches. Mom and Richard got my diploma framed in an expensive frame and St thomas mattt, with the crest, (thanks guys!), they also picked up my yearbook and the composite of all the grads. Mom got me a gift bag of stuff as well. Then we all went Swiss Chalet for supper. It was a really nice day. Beautiful weather, nice company, and good food! I worked last night and made 4 sales, which was a good number for our team and the campaign that we were in. I'm going to go in today to work some extra hours. I work tomorrow as well and Saturday. It works out very nicely to work this weekend, because it leaves me free to go to Saint John for Lisa's musical next weekend. Mom said she would pick me up on Friday and Jackie is also going home (to N.S) that weekend and offered to drive me home on Monday, thanks!! Then I work Tuesday... I think this will be a very nice summer. I'm not going to look for an apartment for another month or so, because they are all available to soon. I didn't realize, but most people don't look for apartments 4or 5 months before they need it, hmph! Our lease isn't over until August 31st, 2007, so I'm going to wait until late June,July to start looking again. The guy that I was going to take the apartment from (with the small bedroom) was very nice about me backing out (I told him I couldn't afford it right now) and he said to check back when I need an apartment, maybe something will be available. He seemed very nice and the tenants seemed happy with him as well. If the bedroom wasn't so small we would have taken it. The tenants said that there was an apartment upstairs, so maybe that would be larger. I could always ask about that (when the time comes). Gotta get something to eat....write later
