So my first year of college is successfully under my belt, and my room is almost entirely packed. My roommate is already moved out so she can help her family get ready for a wedding, and I am left alone with nowhere to be for the next two days. (Well, I am attending a recital tonight.)

I am all finished with finals, but I am staying on campus so that I will be here to sing at the graduation on Saturday. Plus, this will also be a nice couple of days to transition back to having my own room, while still being near most of my friends.

I am going to apply at Barnes and Nobles, and probably Starbucks. (Although I would far rather work at Barnes and Nobles. It’s the books, you know. )

So this year has gone by extremely quickly for me, I feel like I’ve only been here for a few months. In high school, by the last couple of weeks I was just aching to be out, because I was always stuck inside on the sunny days, and I had to go straight from class to class to class, with no freedom in my schedule. Here I get to attend classes, but I also get breaks to spend outside and to hang out with my friends. I do my homework and activities because I want to, and if I were to not get something done it would be my own fault. I go to classes because I enjoy them, not because I am forced to.

So this summer I am determined to work out. (When I am not working.) I also want to go swimming, a lot!

I know everyone says that, but I have a partner to go biking and walking and such with, so I will be more willing to do it rather than if I were on my own.

Things on the home front are looking much better. (mostly)

After all those years of keeping my brick, never damaging it, and then finally get a nice picture taking flip phone I have managed to lose it after about two weeks.

Of course.

I finally get something nice and i cannot keep ahold of it.

The last place I remember using it is over at a friend’s apartment, but it isn’t anywhere over there, it is nowhere in my room, none of the various lost and founds have it, and I am extremely saddened by it’s loss.

I have no way to contact anyone, and I really hope it shows up. I have asked Security to send out an all-campus email, I am praying it reappears before I leave on Saturday.

So today I am going to finish the book my voice teacher lent me, on God and Art, and I am also going to make cd labels, and a picture for my mother for mother’s day. (I’m pretty poor right now to buy something, plus I have absolutely no clue what I could possibly buy her. Plus I always like  giving gifts that have a personal touch.)

I also really ought to take my boxes down to my car, but I just don’t feel like it at the moment. Oh well, I do have pretty much all day.

So Saturday is graduation (then work) and Sunday is work (then Sunny’s wedding) and then Monday through Wednesdayish a friend of mine from college is staying with me at home before she leaves for another house.

Then its off to applying for more jobs, attempting to find scholarships, and also attempting to get into better shape.

Then just about threeish months later (the beginning of August) I will be back in lovely SMUtown for RA training. Yes! I can hardly wait.

It will be nice to have a break for some hardcore money  making (ugh) and hopefully some relaxing fun time.

Well, I will leave you all to it.

Please pray for my cell phone to be found and returned to me before I leave, pray that summer goes well 9I get what I need to accomplished) and have a lovely day! Oh, and keep praying for guidance. I am kind of thinking I want to officially major in Theatre and minor in Music. I’ve heard there are ways of getting certified to teach without majoring in Ed, I’d like to explore that.

Sincerely,

Emilie
