Baby it's a new day.

So much has happened since my last post.

First and foremost, I graduated from college. I am officially an alumni. It is so weird to have accomplished that. A little surreal if you like. My diploma was the first thing I hung on the wall in my apartment. I see it every few mins and still can't really believe it.

Speaking of the apartment, I am living in it. All by my lonesome. Let me tell you peeps, its a lot harder than I even imagined. I mean, I have never lived "with" someone. I have had my own room my whole life. But, I realized in the last two days that I have never really been alone. At home, I had two brothers and two parents constantly around. In the dorm, I lived around 160 something girls, 6 of which I knew really well. And a whole campus around me that I could see, talk to to and visit. I ate with people at least twice a day. Never really alone... unless I wanted to be. Well, I am just beginning to understand "alone". I know absolutely no one in the area. I don't even know a neighbor. That on top of having no furniture. I mean none. I have my TV, a futon mattress and a few chairs. No internet, no cable... In fact, I am paying $2.95 at McDonalds to bring you this fascinating blog post.

Honestly, I spent about 12 hours wallowing. I cried when my parents left. I moped. I sat in front of my TV, watched a sad movie and cried about how alone I was. Then, I got over it. It's all pretty humorous to me at this point. I laughed as I fell asleep in my living room on my ghetto mattress last night. It really is pretty laughable.

But more than that, its an adventure. This is my life and I am hereby refusing to hide from it. My hours of fear and agoraphobia might return momentarily, but I would ask that you 4 people that read this pray for me. I want to grab this opportunity with all that it's worth. I know that is what God intends. More on this later. Headed to my first day of work here in Austin, Wish me luck!
