After days of endless stress, chores, and preparations, the grad party of doom came, was a success, and went! Things are slowly starting to return to normal in my house (thank goodness) and while I still have to tackle a chore mountain every day, it's a big relief that the whole thing is over.
Thanks to the party though, I'm finally in a place of financial stability! From that party alone, I earned DOUBLE what I made last year working at Famous Footwear. I'm still trying my hardest to find employment, however. I haven't found any success in that region! While I had my interview with Kohl's and felt it went well, my suspicions were correct, and I received a letter in the mail thanking me for my consideration, but they would not be hiring me.
I still haven't gotten anywhere with Care.com jobs, which is also frustrating, but I did get my pay for turtlesitting, and I do have a job lined up for the end of the month.
On the bright side, in less than one week I'll be heading to my orientation at DePaul! I'm really excited, and I can't wait to meet some new people, experience the dorms, and schedule my classes (and get my ID!). It's really starting to hit me that I am going to college!
Also, my apologies for the recent infrequent posting. My sister has been using the laptop to watch The Goldbergs (great show, by the way! I highly recommend it) so I've been left without a computer. On the bright side, once I'm back from orientation my parents and I are going to get me a new laptop, and I can start blogging even more consistently from that instead!
