Two Weeks Graduated

People keep asking me how do I feel after graduation, what have I been up to these days, and what are my plans now. I would like to address those questions with the following.

1. Graduation has not hit me. You see, BYU-Idaho does a track system. I do not feel like explaining what that is exactly, but it basically allows for more students to attend the University. I am (was) on the Fall/Winter track, so I attend from September to April. When I graduated and moved back to Washington it just felt like I was coming home for the summer break. I do not think it will hit me until September comes around and I am not buying books or back to school clothes.

2. Graduation was great! I will not lie, I was stressing because I was trying to get all my work done, pack, clean, and I was having both sets of parents come together. Last time that happened, I was graduating from High School! But it all turned out nicely! Everything went smoothly. I was not able to show them all my favorite places, but I think I was also ready to get out of Rexburg.
My mission President and his wife did attend my graduation to my parents were able to meet them! How lucky am I??!? That was super sweet!! Oh and also don't forget THE Shannon Durr was there and so was my Oma! Man, I must be loved or something.

The Saturday after we made the trek back to Washington. The last time I will do that drive! Since being home I have been with my family. My mom works and so I hang out at home. I have done a few chores and projects for her which has been good so I do not go crazy. I also finished watching FRIENDS on Netflix and the show Freaks and Geeks. Which side-note, why the heck did Freaks and Geeks not get more than one season? That show freaking rocks!

Tonight I began to pack for Alaska. I am trying to pack light. Only one checked bag and the two carry ons. I think I am doing a pretty good job. We will see. I always get antsy at the end of packing and start throwing random things in.

3. On Friday I am going to be in ALASKA! I am so excited to be back up there! I have missed it and I feel more prepared than last year. And I know of adventures I want to go on and such. It is going to be awesome! I will also begin to study for the GRE to take in October. Then at the end of October I am going to Orlando with Shannon and then I will begin to apply to graduate school and try to get a big girl job.

Next time you hear from me, I will be in ALASKA! Get ready for the overload! (:
