Wandering Aimlessly

Well, it's over. College is over.

The ceremony was nice. Small. I was second. Thank goodness I wasn't first. I hate being first. The girl behind me almost fell down the stairs, and almost took me with her. Oops. She also about took my shoe off. But once we got past that, everything went smoothly. <.g> I only knew about a dozen people, but three of them graduated high school with me, and I hadn't seen them in forever. That was cool. One girl was a really good friend of mine in junior high and high school, and I kind of lost touch with her in college.

So after the ceremony, I moved out about half my stuff. I brought my computer home, because I thought I wouldn't be getting my new computer until January 2nd. Surprise, surprise, it's here! I'm using it! A flat-panel screen, some snazzy-looking speakers, all black and sleek and fast and new and I LOVE it! Of course it is scary as all heck, because I don't know how to use most of it. I have some programs I need to install and a LOT to figure out. But Wheeee!! Excitement! Of course, I didn't have time to get anything off of my old computer. And it's not hooked up. One of these days (maybe when my sister goes back to school and I can borrow her desk and internet connection) I will hook it up and email myself all the *good* stuff. Ha ha.

I got lots of wonderful gifts. I got a bracelet from my mom's brother and his family. It's a dream bracelet, and each stone means something. My cousins spent an hour picking it out. So sweet. I also got one share of stock in Disney! SO COOL! It's going to come framed to me, soon. They were backed up, what with Christmas and all. <.g> But I can't wait! I got some charms for my bracelet and a Dr. Seuss book (Oh, The Places You'll Go) from my sister, so sweet. And, of course, my computer, which I LOVE. Ahhh! Love it. Came with a printer/scanner, too, with a hook-up for a digital camera memory card, which my dad made sure to point out. So I think they ARE doing the split-the-cost-of-a-digital-camera with me for Christmas. <.g> My grandma also gave me this really nice Disney poster, which she apparently had to argue her way into, as it was a display somewhere. <.giggle> It's framed, now, SO cool. It's an MGM poster, with a quote from Walt and pictures and, yeah, really nice. I love my family, and I am so thankful for everything!

Today I need to clean, clean, clean my room. Eeep. Such a mess, what with all my stuff from school sitting in boxes and piles. =/ Time to get started on that.
