Graduation was long and arduous. We couldn't have picked a better day to wear long, black robes under a hot May sun. I can't believe how tired I still am from that day. It may be because I came home and unpacked nearly everything I had acrued at school for the past year. That was probably a little un-necessary. I tend to un-pack and organize when I'm anxiety-ridden. Its the only thing I know how to control, when suddenly everything I've known for so long is suddenly gone. Its so surreal that I'm actually done with college. No more homework. No more academia. I think I'm going to miss all the debates and opportunities to meet so many different people. It was especially cool to meet people from other countries. Its a little difficult to do that in any old town in Vermont.
The really shitty thing about graduation day, was not partying with anybody. Its weird, because my friend Meghan said I should come to the Hippy house after graduation. This was like a week before. I figured we'd meet up after and I could follow her to this infamous dungeon of keggers and drug-inducement. However, after graduation I could not find her and she wouldn't answer her cell phone. I should've known better. She'd always been flakey like that. Maybe she just though I was fucking weird, but couldn't be mean to me. Sometimes I wonder. Needless to say, I went home and hung out by myself, drinking my parent's wine. Oh well. Fuck everybody. Well except Cherie. She's cool enough to rent a hotel room and eat chocolate mixed with shrooms. Thats hardcore.
So what next? I don't know. I can only apply for so many jobs at a time. It gets boring real fast. I've been keeping in touch with the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force quite a bit, but its taking them a long time to get stuff together. I've gotten $300 so far for graduation and I just picked up my paycheck today for $190. Yeah I'm gonna die real soon if I don't get some sufficient income. Oh yeah, I no longer have health insurance because I live in a country where its political punditry thinks the welfare of its people isn't as important as waging illegal wars against sovereign nations.
My parents did, however, bring me to the Long Trail Brewery today for lunch. I had the "hippy" burger for lunch. It was decent, but the Belgian White Wheat Ale was the best part. I also got to tour the factory and see how they mix all that malt, hops, water and shit. That was some dank ass chronic motherfucker.
A kid named Pete is coming over to show me his guitar skills. I hope it goes well.

sorry to hear about not partying with anyone. it's not like i did any real hardcore partying, but I did get to hang with friends. and hey right now you have more money then i do. You got more for graduation then i did. as for work for me idn. maybe i'll try to get a job with the movie gallary, but last time they didn't want me. i don't think there is anywhere around here that i can get a job with that goes with getting a degree. damn this town sucks
Yeah it was just really shitty that I didn't get to chill with anyone. I was always chase people, even when they let me down. No more trying to contact Meghan. I might have more moeny than you, but at least you have a credit history. I probably couldn't get an apartment right now. Haha.
I would try the movie gallery again. Bug the shit out of them. I was just told by Carol that I probably won't get the job as a cashier at the Coop, because I'm looking for "full-time professional work," according to her. Apparently that will turn them off. Great. So now a college degree wont even let me have a shitty job for the time-being.
Well, we both have to keep trying or we'll get nowhere. But if things get bad, I'm going to seriously consider applying to graduate school.
Ya this is totally idiotic. you go to college to better yourself and try to get a good job so you don't have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck, and you get totally screwed over.
