So I finally graduated. I managed to do it in just 5 years, with only 11 credits spread accross the whole 5th year. Grad was nice, my whole family came down, and so did khine, andrew, don, and hannah. Even rob was there, who graduated the previous semester. I mean, it was a little hecktic with my mom spending three nights under the same roof as everyone else, and she was deff getting on everyones nurves, but being able to look back on the whole scenario now, I'd say it was a great way to finnish out my childhood. A little bit of everything rolled into one last adventure, mom induced stress, family non-sense, old friends, college friends, moms plans during the day, beer pong and music at night, and my girl friend beside me the whole way!
After all the grad related things, it was time to pack up. I had 1.5 weeks to get my whole life stowed into an army of corrigated boxes from late night wal-mart rades. Over that duration I visited lots of people too, man, it was just one busy time. At the end of it, I got a 26' Penske moving truck, the biggest a non-comercially licensed driver can drive leagally. Brandon, dad, and I spent my last saturday loading up the truck. Remarkably, it only took 2 hours, but man was that rough! It was just so hot. I got the worst rash ever! Sunday at noon, we shoved off! Dad drove the truck and I drove my car.
Our first stop was supposed to be Tech to start packing my college stuff, but I just couldnt drive past interstate 64 with out stopping at c-ville, so we took a detour! Both dad and I met up with Khine at her place. While there, we relaxed a bit, took a walk downtown, and got supper. Not long after, it was time to continue on our way. I said my goodbyes again, and we headed out :-( BUT WAIT! I forgot the cooler, and I was only about 10 miles out, so I turned around while dad kept going. I got the cooler, and I got to see Khine again! With out dad there this time, things were able to get a little more steamy ;-)
I eventually caught up with dad. It was somewhere in the vacinity of Roanoke. When we got to tech, we both basically just passed out. It wasn't until the next day that we started loading the truck again. This time the loading only took about 45 minutes. We didnt want to leave for TN until about midnight though. Since it was memorial day, the offices at my apt would have been closed, and dad didnt feel safe leaving the moving truck over night at a hotel, so we timed it so that we would arrive at my apt just as the offices opened, and man did we time it good! With a 2 hour break at a truck stop, we still managed to get to my place in Nashville right at 8am tuesday morn!
Once there, I signed some papers, we moved my stuff in, drove around to activate my utillities, then relaxed. Dad was there till thursday. It was then i took him to the airport to catch his 8am flight back to harrisburg. LoL, he missed his layover flight in charlotte NC getting a cup of coffee. everyone was freaking out because dad never came home when he was supposed to, but luckily they gave him tickets for a later flight, so it was all good.
So here I am, living in TN now, working everyday. I really miss VT, college was great, I miss the student life and being able to see Khine all the time. But we all have to move on, my apt is fabulous, my job is in my field, has a high starting sal, and is just all together freaken sweet, so I guess I really can't complain. Pics and more on my job coming soon...
