Wasteland reminds me of a song called "Wasteland" that is on the soundtrack to the movie She's the Man. It's one of my favorite movies to watch. Jeana and I watch it together all the time. We just watched it last week before we finished finals and graduated. We know the whole thing word by word so us watching it is really just us reciting it while watching it.

I miss everyone from school already. It was very sad to say goodbye to everyone. I know I'll see them all again sometime though. The hardest part is just not knowing when I'll see them again. On a good note though, I'll be seeing Josh and Cali tomorrow! I'm excited for that. And I just found out that Lego Pirates of the Caribbean comes out this month which Cali will be so excited about. I know I'm excited. haha
I'm happy to be home though. It's been nice to see my family and spend some time with them. Plus, the Finch has returned to the Coop which I'm super happy about. It's been so long and we've had so much to catch up on.
I start work on Wednesday I think, back at the good ol' Merritt Canteen, which I seem to hardly recognize anymore. It's changed so much there. I'm real glad that I have a job to go back to but I've really been ready to move on for a while now. I am otherwise unemployed, but I'm hoping that will change very soon.
I sent my resume to the Chatham Shellfish Company last night and heard back from them today. They're going to let me know by the end of the weekend or early next week if I have the job. It's a seasonal position for the summer. I really wouldn't mind spending the summer in the Cape. Don't even care that all the money I make would probably just go to paying rent. It's well worth it for a job I'll enjoy and a summer in the Cape. So we'll see. I'm not getting my hopes up because I'm really used to rejection at this point. I'll just wait and see what happens.

Dinosaur
Dinosaurs!! Omg I want to go to Dinosaur World so bad. It's one of the things I said I would do before I graduate. I was going to go this semester but then this new lack of a car thing really ruined that. But I've been dying to go there since before I even came to college. And I'll be really sad if I don't go there. I think I'll have to make a summer road trip back down this way just so I can go to Dinosaur World!

I definitely just got way to excited when I saw that the word today was dinosaur. haha. I literally yelled dinosaur out loud. Haha. Thank you oneword.com for finally giving me useful words.
I really do want to go to Dinosaur World though. I will make it happen. Maybe it will be part of my drive 'til you run out of money trip this summer. Sounds good to me. I had 3 goals for this semester. 3 things I wanted to do before graduating. 1. Go to Dinosaur World. 2. Dive in the whale shark tank at the Georgia Aquarium. 3. Go skydiving. Goal fail. I didn't do any of them. Oh well. Still had a really good year though so it's okay. Besides it gives me more stuff to do in the years to come. Especially if I really do my drive 'til you run out of money trip. Not sure if I mentioned my potential travel plans in another post, but I'm going to mention them again because I'm too lazy to see if I did or not.
One (only one) of the following summer travel plans will happen (finances permitting):
Or stay home for the summer 'cause I'm too broke and save whatever money I make to start paying off those things called student loans. That sounds a lot more probable.
Anyway. Happy Birthday to me. Ignoring my birthday on Facebook failed as people who already knew my birthday posted on my wall and everyone else followed the trend. So I added my birthday back to my profile so at least everyone will know. Hoping for a certain someone to wish me a happy birthday, as that would make my day. haha. Now I'm off to take a final that I studied for an hour for. Shouldn't be too bad.

One (only one) of the following summer travel plans will happen (finances permitting):
- Trip to Las Vegas. With Jeana, Kelli, Kermit, and anyone else who decides to come along.
- If that falls through, then I'll hopefully take a trip to either England or Ireland. Having difficulties deciding, but I doubt it matters because I probably won't be able to afford it.
- "Drive 'til you run out of money" Trip. Basically the plan would be to go home and work for a month or month and a half, save up all that money, then jump in the car and take off. Drive wherever (preferably in the general direction of cheaper gas prices) and just see where I end up. Then come home when I'm left with just enough money to get me home.
- US 1 Road trip. Been planning this one since high school. Drive from CT to FL down US 1. It might take a while but it will be fun.
Or stay home for the summer 'cause I'm too broke and save whatever money I make to start paying off those things called student loans. That sounds a lot more probable.

Bandana
I just packed up some bandanas? That’s really all I can come up with. Packing is getting close to complete and yet I still have a lot to pack. Or so it seems. I only have school/office supplies to pack, some clothes, jewelry, and toiletries. Seems like there’s more than that.
---
Dear oneword.com, please start giving me words I can work with. Bandana and fluorescent are not cutting it for me. Thanks, Cecilia.
As I mentioned packing is nearly complete. The countdown is getting shorter and shorter. My level of motivation is getting lower and lower, which is really bad because I have one final, and 3 take home finals still to do. Meh, there's plenty of time.
At midnight I turn 22. At midnight the new Our Lives In Motion Album comes out. Also at midnight Eminem is announcing his EP title. Sounds exciting. Except that I really only care about 2 out of 3 of those happenings (and the 1 I don't care about is my birthday). Everyone's so caught up in finals, packing, graduation, and whatnot that I'm just not into my birthday this year. Oh well. Graduation is more exciting anyway. It works out nicely that everyone is preoccupied with other stuff anyway, as I don't even like my birthday so this way it will just kind of pass through under the radar. It will be a nice, quiet birthday. I'm okay with that.

Fluorescent
So today's word on oneword.com was fluorescent. I just stared at it for a good 10 seconds and then said "I give up". I really couldn't go anywhere with that. So I'll just blog about whatever today then.
Well, it's May 1 today. Which is a little scary. Graduation is in less than 6 days. My birthday (22) is in two days. I'm going home in 9 days. And I still don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I really don't care much. It will all work out.
I'm not at all excited for my birthday. I've decided to essentially ignore it. I'm not making any plans, and I just don't feel like making a big deal out of it. Everyone's busy with finals anyway so no one will really want to do anything. Which is perfectly okay with me. I'm used to my birthday falling during finals week so it's nothing new. Besides, everyone's got their mind set on graduation so it kind over overshadows my birthday. Also okay with that.
With this whole lack of plans thing that I've got going on, I've come up with a couple of possible plans to make for mid to late summer. First is still the plan to go to Vegas. As long as everyone else is still in for that plan then it will happen. Second, is if I get enough money from birthday/graduation and working once I'm home, then I'm going to Europe. Not sure if I'll go to England or Ireland, but I'll figure that out when I see how much money I have. Third, is to go home and work for the first half of the summer and save up all that money, and then just go. Jump in the car and drive (in the general direction of cheaper gas prices) and not come back until the money is gone. I kind of like the 3rd plan a lot because it allows me to have a more impulsive approach on where to go. But it doesn't seem to feasible. Or I'll just stay home and save up all the money I make working so I can start paying loans in 6 months. Who wants to do that though?
