wow. I am now a full fledged member of the adult working class.

Graduation was last weekend, although I feel like it was some sort of weird joke and I will still have to report to campus in the fall. Joke is on them I guess: no more school, no more $40,000 a year to attend classes, no more grading papers for $7/hr, no more homework on that green engineering paper i have come to know and love over the last 4 years.

I spent most of yesterday moving a first load of things to my new place and unpacking a large part of my kitchen supplies: I have a hell of a lot of stemware. I own about 50 glasses, at least. I think I will end up packing my dozen or so 'special occasions' glasses like my fancy martini and margarita glasses just so they dont take over my limited cabinet space, and then who knows. I have such fun, cute things for my kitchen :-)

Speaking of the kitchen, I need a slightly bizare set of appliances for my new place. I have a nice vacuum, blender, and some of the small things like a coffee grinder, but I still need all the random things that I have either been surviving without like a hand mixer, or using my roommates like his coffee maker. And of course I need the little stuff such as sponges and dish soap and duct tape and to find my nails so I can hang all my artwork around my place, although I think I will wait until my parents come down for the July 4th weekend to do that. I always felt that a place goes from feeling like a place to sleep to being home when you put things up on the walls.

Wow. I just looked over the last paragraph, and my sentence structure is all over the place. I can't even tell if I have been consistently writing completel sentences: when I am tired (it is 2:40 in the morning) my ability to use grammar goes out the window.
