So yesterday I went and picked up my cap and gown from the bookstore. I gotta be honest, it did freak me out a little. It suddenly made the fact that I'm gonna be finished with school in like a month so much more real.

The funny thing is right after I did that (and thought, hmmm, maybe I'll mention my mini-freak out on the blog) my mom called me and told me the same thing, haha. I was at the Chocolate Bar and as soon as I ansewr she says "I'm kinda freaked out. Are you a little freaked out?" and I was like, "Hey Mom. What's up? Wait..your freaked out? Why? What Happened?" She just responded, "Cause...you got your cap and gown." Even without expressing the meaning behind that significance, I completely understood what she meant instantly and agreed, that yes, I too was freaked out.

Speaking of the Chocolate Bar, I had an amazing Kahlua Brownie Chocolate Martini. Hence my ridiculously over-exaggerated reaction (including a noise, and a physical jolt) which I of course had to explain when asked what the hell I was doing as having "a spasmgasm over here". Which led to discussion on other possibile words to describe the experience (which others had too, when they tried my order). One example I remember was oralgasm. Clever indeed, but probably not distinct enough to sound funny and not just dirty, haha.

What else is new? Oh, so apparently there's no Portland or Chicago in my future anytime soon. My Internship #1 offered me a job, so it looks like I'll be staying in the STL for a while longer. Now I just need to find a place to live. Damn.

On the other hand, at least I don't have to start anew just yet. At least I'm familiar with this city and still know people here (though a lot of my friends are leaving). My mom also mentioned in her freak out talk how crazy it was that I'm starting another big new chapter of my life where everything changes. I mean, sure I've done it quite a few times with the number of cities/schools I was moved around as a kid, and did the same thing twice without my family still around me within the last four years, but I don't know that I was ready to repeat the process of moving to a completely new location again knowing nobody just yet.

So I guess it's not such a terrible thing I'll still be here. Plus, having a job right out of school is always nice, knowing those student loan payments will be coming around in 6 months.

Coming up before then? Drag Ball. I gotta go get ready. The pictures should be promising.
