One year down, two to go.

Finals are over, have been since last Thursday. Went to visit the folks a few days later, and heading back to DC to start my fancy new jobby job on Monday. I've never had an office job before, well, save for the part-time receptionist gig that I had for one semester in college. Which really, well, doesn't count. I'm a little nervous, since I'm not sure what to expect. I've had a week of downtime which has been nice, but I'm getting bored. I'm a little worried I'm going to burn out, since I'm not taking much of a break. But that's all part of being a grown-up, no?

I at least have the wardrobe now. Or I think I do. And an outfit for an upcoming wedding reception in Dallas. That should be a blast. One of my closest friends in Dallas got married a few months ago and now is having a reception. Looking forward to seeing her as well as a few other friends that I've missed since I've moved away. But it will be a little weird going back to the Big D.

Home has been good, for the most part, but as usual, I can only handle about three days before I start to go insane. In keeping with my new grown-up role, I actually paid for dinner out with my family last night. I think it confused my father slightly, and really it was more of a hollow gesture than anything else, since 1) mommy has been buying me a lot of clothes this week, 2) they pay for my ticket here, and 3) they added on to the check for the ticket. But hey, it felt good.

My next big thing is to find an apartment. One of my very very own. Yay.
