Between Deadlines

Hello, maybe you know me. I'm a college graduate.

I didn't mean to keep you guys hanging for two days, but I spent Saturday and much of Sunday away from computers... So I didn't have the chance to seal the verdict. Degrees have been conferred. Everything is official. They can't take it away from me now. Whew.

I've got an entry in the works about it all... But I've gotta drive back down to Oakdale tomorrow to do some freelance design work for a day or two. I'll try to squeeze in some writing time before the end of the week to update with everything that is my exciting life.

"It's a constant contradiction
What feels good & what feels right
You live with the decisions you make in your life
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
The spirit of a boy, the wisdom of a man"

I drove the hour and a half to Oakdale like I was supposed to today so that I could some one final freelance project for the newspaper. When I arrived, I was told that nothing was ready for me and that I'd have to come back Wednesday. Ugh. They told me to come today... And they had my phone number, so they could have called and stopped me from coming. Oh, well. This is why I'm happy to graduate, I guess. At least I have some free time to clean out my stuff from the office.

Speaking of, I found this gem stuck in a folder...
