I've held this post off for long enough, but I guess now is a good chance to do it since I doubt I'll be going out tonight. I am a Penn State graduate. My Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications is proudly hanging in the living room no one ever goes in under a picture of the lion shrine (that is when the picture stays in the frame). This is day 4 of real life and so far I've spent it digging around craigslist and sending in resumes, watching TV, making my player in MLB 2K10 an elite pitcher, finding the bar with the best special that night (minus the $7 shot) and watching possibly the worst movie ever: The Room. I'm hoping that it isn't a horribly long wait before I find some work, whether in media or just something to get money in the bank. Should be a great summer though, settling back into home life and catching many of my favorite bands for the 2nd and 3rd times.

I'm done with school. I'm waiting on grades, though it doesn't matter since I'm pretty sure I'll pass and therefore the credits. Thanks to Yeasayer I took a trip back home as soon as I was done with finals for what will certainly be one of the most memorable weeks in my life. Tomorrow I'm heading back to State to enjoy a final week with those that I would like to see again in the future, but it might be a while before that happens. I honestly don't think I've ever felt such relief and accomplishment to officially be a college graduate. While this week was meant to be relaxing and fun, I did start the job search. One place I applied to is exactly what I would like to jump into to start my career with a production company. Hopefully I hear back from them, so we'll see what comes out of that, but I'll be looking around a lot more during the day this week inbetween playing MLB 2K10 and catching up on House and How I Met Your Mother.
