So I finally finished up my course. Yay for that! I submitted my essays and sent out a request for my transcript. Now I just have to sit tight and make sure that Acadia gets them by the 15th. Of course, I need to pass the course, but I’m not really worried about that. I think I did a decent job on the second two, better than the first essay I think – which I got an A on. I’m undecided on whether I should bother going to my graduation or not. I mean, it’s a three hour drive there and back just to be bored for a couple of hours. Usually it’s all fun and symbolic because you hang out with your friends and celebrate the passing of another one of life’s cycles. But it looks like no one but my mom would be there and well, it just doesn’t seem worth it for something I can celebrate internally. I’m already celebrating. I’d almost rather spend the weekend in Halifax with friends, since it is my birthday weekend and all. Of course, that would also not make any sense since about three days later I’m heading into Halifax again – and I can’t go early because Alley needs to go to the vet on the 18th and no earlier. So it looks like another boring night at home for my birthday. Bah. No change from the last two years I guess.

Arrangements have been made for the big trip. We’re staying at the Hilton, which I think is pretty awesome. I’m flying out a couple of days before my interview and me and Mike are going to have a nice little vacation before we head back to Texas and actually start our married life. I’m pretty excited about making our little apartment into a home. I’ll have to do a big grocery shopping and clean up the place, then do a little decorating. We’ll also need some furniture so a trip to IKEA will be necessary. Pretty much all we need to do now is wait. And wait. Blah. I hate waiting. I really need to do a packing run through so I will know how much stuff I have and what is going to need to be sent by mail ahead of time. I really hope I can fit it all in my suitcase.
