.: At work :.

yes. I've started a new jobber.

This is one reason I haven't been good about keeping up with the posts. I'd just finished giving my boss a chair massage tune-up. I think I was trying too hard to impress him. Or perhaps its been that long since I've put a good effort into a massage, my arms are a bit sore.

So this new job is in the suburbs VERY close to my mom's place. I'm at first a receptionist mostly in the evenings now. Apparently, I'm also going to be the lil IT girlie girl for them trying to get these damn pop up ads and various other crap off the computers. Also, I'll be updating and editing the webpage. While I'm working on studying for the National Exam (and tying up loose ends with CSMT) I'll be an intern at the spa (Read: I get to charge student rate). That is, until I get my Illinois certification, then I can charge full rate. Not much in comparison to the city. I'll still be toting my table around if anyone needs a massage....

...for the drunken blog...

I'd had one hell of a day on Thurs that mainly consisted of panic and worry and then more panic, disappointment, and then drunken ending.

Firstly, Scott's memorial. Very nice. My view on life don't often go well with certain Christian beliefs but damn if that wasn't a lovely service and sermons. What touched me the most was a very comforting line that Scott's wife, Michele attributed to him in a letter that she had read.

"Don't let them be discouraged. There is more work for them to do."

That helped me get through the day to my graduation ceremony. I almost didn't expect to walk b/c of course there is still missing bits to my graduation requirement. But they let me walk with CSMT Class 83. I have so much more to write about this AND I have pictures :) I'm GRADUMINATED!!! mostly...

After a dinner with ma familia at Reza's, I went out to NEO to dancey dance. I've sent out a late email to folks I thought might be interested in going - quite late tho. So I was a little disappointed I didn't have friends to dance with me. Luckily, WM showed up. Ah, what a bloody fuckin riot. only makes sense since he introduced meto NEO and very shortly wiwll be leaving for Detroit. Boo.

.: Losing it :.

It’s a week to my official graduation. I’m loads of paperwork and studying away from ACTUALLY graduating. I don’t know what I’m doing. At the very least I’ve talked myself from outright throwing in the towel again. What I do know is I’m still trying to undermine myself in my horrendous little ways. Trying to be perfect. Wrecking myself with self-criticism. And pretending I want to get involved with another boy. Anyone wanna come over and give me a swift kick in the pance?

There are the waves of utter excitement and joy over graduating that hit me and floor me leaving me wasted and tired… But I see a light at the end of a long, long tunnel...oh god if I survive this…

.: Another Holiday :.
