Well, it's all over now.

My celebratory period of my graduation is over. My party was yesterday so now it's just thank you cards, orientation, and then college.

I am so happy with how my party went. Honestly, I got about $800. I'm hoping to be able to buy a really nice Dell laptop for school, so that's where that money is going. I had a lot more people than I thought I would. A good number of people from my mother's church and a ton of my dad's family. It was lovely. I did get stressed because I was having to constantly go around and say hi and shake hands and smile and talk to people. By the end of the night, I just sat in my car sobbing. I don't know why, I was sad and happy and stressed and scared and depressed.  Thankfully, though, I had friends from work who came, so mostly I hung with them. See, even if people are really nice and friendly, I can't help but think that they're staring at me and judging me, so it was so relieving to be able to sit with friends from work. I have never had a group of people I feel so comfortable and safe around and it feels incredible to know that I can say almost anything and these people won't judge me. I really appreciate my work friends. So it was Me, Jenna, Katie, Rachel, Andrew, Cori, and Shelia most of the afternoon. Rachel's leaving for Columbus on Thursday though, so I'll have to get her goodbye card and also her thank you card to her before she leaves. I am really going to miss her, and I swear to god if Penneys hires more lazy, stupid high school kids, I am going to fucking scream. So yeah.

So, I got the nicest cotton yarn a few days ago, and then I found a pattern for a hand-knit washcloth made out of, yeah, worsted weight cotton yarn, so guess what I cast on this morning? Very excited, the picture is gorgeous and the pattern is so easy I could probably do it in my sleep.

I think that's about it. So, I'm off to write thank you cards and look at new laptops. Cheerio!
