Whirlwind

YIKES!

SO much has happened since my last post and this is honestly the first time since that day in April that I have felt I can actually sit down and take a deep breath.

I finished all my classes, graduated college, moved home, been job searching, hostessing, subbing, and planning for my summer program. TOO MUCH!

Let's back up...

My last semester of college was amazing. I finished the semester with a 3.93 GPA which I was so excited about because I did it without having any Education classes. After classes we had an entire week of Senior events. This quite possibly could be the best week I've ever had (with Spring Break at a close second). I spent the week with no worries, no responsibility, and the best of friends. We truly seized the day and made the most of our last week in Newport together.

Graduation day was absolutely beautiful. It was that day that I was so grateful for having chose Newport, RI to go to school. The weather was in the 70s, it was sunny, and we graduated on the ocean....can you ask for anything better than that?! I accomplished my goal of graduating Magna cum Laude which meant I had to have at least a 3.75 cumulative gpa. They announced that after my name as I walked across stage and that moment made all the stress and hard work of the past 4 years worth it to me.

It was very sad leaving Newport because my closest friends are all staying for the summer and living together. But it had to be done because I am not ready to give up my summer camp.

Since I moved home I immediately began hostessing at my parents restaurant and substituting in the school district at home to try to start making/saving money.

I continued with the job search and was so lucky to get called for 2 interviews (and a second round of interview this week- keep your fingers crossed)
I have been starting to think of alternative plans for the fall if that doesn't work out, I am trying really hard to just take it as it comes...I'm not really doing a good job at that though.

For the first summer in 4 years I haven't really had time pre-program to dedicate all my time thinking about and planning for my summer program...so now that I've put an end to the hostessing and subbing I finally can and it feels so wonderful. I am so looking forward to getting to know a new 500 kids this summer and seeing all the incredible things they are capable of!

THINK PURPLE.
