GRADUATED FOR REAL!!!

So its really official, i have graduated. Now im just waiting for my transcripts to come in so i can get the visa process started. I just want this step out of the way because i cannot learn my placement until the company gets my documents. The waiting is driving me crazy. A few of the people i know who are also working for the same company are getting their placement. My one friend got a placement that is on the opposite side of the country as her requests. I hope this doesnt happen to me. I know that i will love wherever i get placed but i really want to be in central Japan. Im not even that picky on the exact location. Just somewhere central that way it is easier to travel.

On a more positive note, i leave for vacation to Disney on Sunday. With all that has been going on i havent really even been able to get as excited for that trip as i usually am. i guess after all this time it really is like going home. When you are Vacation Club people when you check in they person says welcome home. It really does start to become true. I know my way around the place better than i know my home town, its sad really. I have to try to enjoy this trip though, its going to be the last for a while. I have a feeling Tokyo disney is going to be different...lol.

Thats all for now i guess....crosses fingers....i hope i get my placement soon

No More College

Soooo, i graduated college today...or at least i had my last final. Im done, the actual graduation is not till next Friday though. Its kind of a weird feeling. Ever since i found out that i got the job in Japan i have been looking forward, past graduation, to going over and starting. Now that im actually done im starting to think that i dont want to leave college. My housemate a few weeks ago started denial about graduation. She wouldn't let anyone talk about it and called it the G-word. Now im starting to see what she was talking about. College has been without a doubt the BEST four years of my life so far.

I remember arriving at welcome week, meeting my roommate and how nervous i was. Back then i was a completely different person. That person never would have even dreamed about picking up and moving to another country, let alone doing it. I have changed so much. The majority of the change i can attribute to my sorority and my fabulous sisters. It is leaving them that brings the most regret about graduating. These girls mean the world to me and its hard to look to the future and know that they are not just down the street. Even given this though i know that they are only a very expensive phone call away. Thats whats going to get me through this i think.

After my last final today i started my getting ready for Japan regime of learning Japanese. Since i know no Japanese what so ever i feel like this is probably a good thing. I am starting easy and forcing myself to learn 20 new Japanese words a day. I have almost learned all my words for the day. This is going to be harder than i thought...hmmmm.

Im looking forward to my next two trips. In about three weeks im going to Florida...disney world to be exact. My family owns timeshare so we go alot. I go again in the first week in July for the 4th. These two trips and working all the time to save money for Japan are going to make the next couple months fly by. Before you know it, ill be writing from Japan. Right now i guess ill just have to settle for Japan in Disney World.


Im the one on the right
