Stress, Grad Photos, and Anticipation

So, I've been putting off updating this blog while I wait for SOMETHING to happen in regard to my Amity job, but since it's been several weeks, I thought I'd just do an update anyway. 


First off: my classes are over, I passed everything, and I have my graduation ceremony in one week from today. YAY! I'm done with college! :D


I've been a bit stressed out recently... In June/July, Amity announced that they had positions available to start in September, October, and November...and then burned through the first two in under one month, leaving nothing but the November spots open. Since my graduation is at the tail-end of August, I sent Amity a letter from my academic adviser and my transcript so that they would be able to possibly hold a November position for me until I can get them my diploma next week. It's been over a week and they still haven't contacted me. I don't know if that means that there are no spots, or that they forgot about me, or that they just haven't had the time to contact me yet. But it's driving me insane... Every day I check my emails hourly, hoping that they will email me, and my phone is never far from hand's reach.  I don't want to call them or email again, because I don't want to pester them any more, but I also want to make sure that they remember me. *SIGH* It will be fun to look back on this when I do get my placement and laugh at how unnecessarily anxious I was.... I hope... :P


On the sunny side (lol), I did get to take my photographs for my graduation announcements yesterday with my mom. Here are just a few of the ones we took (they look better at the regular size, but for space-sake I made them a bit smaller):

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

              

              




Pretty cool, huh?


I'm actually kinda excited about graduation, even though I originally didn't want to go to the ceremony. I can't believe that after all this time I'm finally finished! :D It took me 6 years to complete college, and here I am finally done. It's weird to be at home with nothing to do other than work. No homework or papers to write, even though I'm still practicing Japanese on my own. Now if my job would just come through, everything would be perfect! 


Short post today I guess, like I said I just wanted to do a small update. I'm spending my Sunday playing Minecraft and watching Supernatural. ^_^ So, to sum up all that's been happening lately:

Sunnyside Up: 


- Taking photos with Mom and Krys

Sunnyside Down:
