It's official!

I am a college graduate. It still feels surreal to me though. It just seems like I am going on summer break, which happens after every winter semester. I think it will really hit me when fall comes and I am not going back to school. It's so crazy that I am done with school forever! Well, graduation was awesome- I loved the attention and presents. :) After I got back from Rexburg, Phil surprised me with balloons, candy, and a willowtree called Courage. I was excited, I love willowtrees! Then we got all set for the event; my mom bought me a very cute dress for graduation and I put on my cap and gown. We went up with his parents, who got me very needed garments and a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble.



At graduation, Sister Bergstrom, the dean of the communication department, said I should hop on stage and join the graduation choir since it wasn't that big. I saw my friend Chanae up there, so I was like okay! I had so much fun. I could feel the spirit so strongly while I was singing- it was just amazing. My family said they were amazed at my singing; I was apparently belting it out. All the credit goes to the spirit. :) Plus, the choir was the first to get their diplomas, so that was awesome.


After graduation, Phil came over with roses that my mom bought me and we took tons of pictures. Then we went to Applebees to celebrate! It was a great day. The next day (yesterday), I wanted to go shopping to celebrate graduation, as well as our one-year anniversary (which is today!). With the Barnes and Noble gift card, we bought 5 movies- Kate and Leopold, Step Up, Bedtime Stories, The Count of Monte Cristo, and National Treasure. We love our movies! I also bought two pairs of church shoes, a shirt, and a couple of other items. It was fun! I have had a great weekend.

In other news, I applied for a community news editor position at the Post Register and got an interview immediately. I thought the interview went sooo well; I've never had such a good interview. I would love to work for the Post Register and hope to get it. I will hear if I get the job sometime this week, so wish me luck!
