I was thinking of making the title of my blog "Dear Gypsy" and that way I could write specifically to Mrs. Savage. :) I think it is a neat idea and that may be happening soon...
Until then, let's see... should I tell about my day? Probably not. I wouldn't want to put anyone to sleep (well, the only person who would read this)! I would like to say that I am excited/nervous about the month on May. Somehow it is already at the very end of April. May will be here in a few days. My birthday is May 9th and this year it falls on Mother's Day. I'm actually really glad it's all on the same day because I actually don't like when it's my birthday. I love other people's birthdays but there is something about mine... I don't know. Like last year, Gypsy, I'm SO glad it was your graduation! :) My mom and I are planning to go see The Bodies Exhibition either on my birthday/Mother's Day or the day before (Saturday) and then have dinner for the occasion(s). We have both been wanting to see the exhibition for a while now and hopefully it's as great as I've imagined.
I graduate the Saturday after my birthday. That will be interesting. I have no idea who is even coming to my graduation but I'm just happy to be finally graduating! My Grandma told me yesterday, actually, that if they don't go, they could just see the pictures. That was a little upsetting but at the same time I understand that my grandfather hasn't been feeling 100% lately and their attendance depends a lot on his health. We will see... that's all I can say as of now. I addressed the envelopes last night and I think I did a pretty good job with them considering I hand wrote them. Anyway, that's graduation so far... I guess I still need to think about something to wear that day. ha! Also, I wanted to invite whoever goes to my graduation to dinner somewhere afterwards. But, my problem is I can't decide on a restaurant. It will be a Saturday afternoon which is the busiest time ever but I like the idea of just dinner somewhere instead of a graduation party (probably for the same reason I'm glad to share my birthday with other special occasions). So, we'll see...
On May 22nd, my mom and I are flying to Ft. Lauderdale to visit her longtime friend for almost two days before our cruise. Then, on the 24th, they are driving us down to Miami and we will board our cruise ship. I'm really excited because this will be the first cruise I've ever been on. We will be going to Key West, Coco Cay, and Nassau. We will return on the 28th and Tonya will pick us up in Miami. We are staying 2 more days in Ft. Lauderdale and then flying home on the 30th. I know I will be taking hundreds of pictures throughout this vacation. I can't wait!
So, that basically sums up May. I wonder how long it will take after graduation for me to feel like I'm actually out of school and not just on some sort of break? I have been in school for nearly 18 years straight! That is so weird to think about. I really need to figure out what I want to do. I have enjoyed working at the police department for nearly three years and my other job has had its ups and downs for almost a year now but I know I'm going to have a different outlook after graduation. I don't want to be stuck doing something that I'm not happy with and I know the sooner I make the changes, the better it will be for me. I know that I would love to work with children. I have researched many different careers lately that could be potential options for me. I'm also wondering if I should continue on and get my Masters (not right away, of course). I would like to discover, or at least narrow down, what my future has in store for me and then go for my Masters.....
Goodness, I can't even finish... It is now way past the time I needed to go to bed and I'm sitting here rambling on and on. Poor Gypsy, don't read this mess! The blog was a lot easier once I started typing though... I could totally do this! But, again, we'll see...
