I am, in fact, still around.

But this time I'm a college graduate. Yeah, that's right.

I know it's one of those things where...lots of people are college graduates, right? I think it's like when someone gets engaged or has a baby. People have been doing that for a long time, but when it happens to you it's pretty much the best thing ever. Though, in my case, a marriage or a baby would probably not be. Graduating from college, in fact, is.

At work the other day I started thinking about how many people I grew up with that are married and/or have a baby and it made my head hurt. Hmm...Breanne, Beth, Jenny, Alyssa, Penny, Matt, Tad & Erika are married. Jenny also has two babies. Penny has one baby and a second one on the way. Mindy, Michelle, Tim, Jeni, and Mollie are getting married in the next year. Nate has been married and divorced. I just saw a picture of Lynsey's daughter in the paper for her first birthday and she's absolutely adorable. (Am I forgetting anyone...?) But I can't help thinking how bizarre it all seems. My mom got married when she was my age and I'm thinking "WHA?" I love love love Kevin but the idea of being married is just so foreign to me right now. I mean, the idea of being done with school forever is pretty foreign, too, and I haven't quite gotten used to that yet. I feel like it's summer break only it's cold out. Rachel says I'll have nightmare for at least a year that I'm late for class or missed a final or whatever. Hell, I've had nightmares for several years that I had a class on my schedule that I forgot about til the end of the semester. It just keeps coming back. Kind of like the nightmare that my teeth are falling out.

I had that one last night and I finally looked it up in a dream dictionary. Apparently it signifies loss of power. Or something like that. It was negative, I remember that much, and it made me nervous in regards to my job attempts. But then I remembered I'm pretty sure I don't believe in that stuff anyway.
