Life After Graduation!

When you graduate it is inevitable that people will ask if you if you have found a job and what you are doing with your life, I just wish I had something more exciting to say, like a great job or other big plans, but instead I have to say I have no idea and no job prospects. When planning for my future after college I didn't factor in the economy, dang economy. So I am still working at my student job at an elementary school through the end of the school year and will be unemployed in about a week and a half. I am kind of starting to freak out because I check for jobs everyday and have applied for some, but there is just crap right now to apply for. I want so badly to work as a social worker, but am facing the fact that it will probably not happen. I miss the days of summer when I could play all summer and didn't have to work...maybe I will just bring that back this summer! Other than the need for a job looming over my head I have really been enjoying my free time and summer. It is so nice being done with work at 3:30 and then having the rest of the day to do whatever I want! Here are some of the things that I have been doing:

• Going to the gym everyday and loving it.
• Working on my cooking skills. Since I got my kitchenaid I have been inspired to try new things and play with my toy. I have made bannana bread, pizza crust for pizzas, snowball cookies, and much else. Phi makes fun of me because I use it to mix french toast mix, but it is just so much fun. We have actually been eating real meals at home now that I don't have my internship at nights anymore. I really do love to cook when I have the time.
• Spending more time with Phi
• Looking for a new apartment..we are in the works and hope to be in a new place by mid June! I am so excited to have more space and washer/dryer hookups it has gone on too long not having them!
• Going to Weddings and spending time with friends
• Spending time with my fam
• Going to Missouri. We got home a week ago from Kansas City. We went to visit Nephi's grandparents and some other family members. I will hopefully post about that and get some pictures up sometime this week. The highlight of that trip was that I got to see my bro Kevies on his mission. It was so great to meet up with him, it has been a year and a half since I had seen him, and it was so great to take him and his comp out to lunch.
• Playing my wii. I like to buy the old school nintendo games like super mario brothers for the first nintendo and super nintendo...nothing compares to those!
• Catching up on my Tv shows and watching season finales, and yes I bawled like a baby during Grey's Anatomy season finale I absolutely love that show.
• I bought a bike! Nephi has had one for two years and I haven't had one so either he would ride it or I would ride his, but now I have one and taking bike rides together is the greatest thing ever! I want to ride my bike everyday.

All in all my summer has started off pretty great. I know that in time the right job will come along for me and it will all be fine. I will enjoy the time off while I can because I know it won't last long. I will try and post about my trip to Missouri soon.
