January

January has been a fairly exciting month so far. Really, the time that has passed since Christmas has been filled with fun and excitement and the best thing of all: free time to do whatever we want because we have no homework.  It still hasn't really hit me that we have graduated from college. That's a big deal right? Why do I not feel like it should be more of a big deal than it is now? By the time the actual graduation ceremony rolls around, we will only have four months of freedom left. I know Brandon can tell a difference. He was so busy during the last semester that he probably doesn't even know what to do with himself now that he doesn't have at least three hours of homework each night. And I can tell a difference because, well, I'm bored. I am working full time at the library now, and as much as I love books, it doesn't compare to how much I loved working with everyone at the high school last semester, students included.

Oh well I guess. Life goes on.

Brandon has officially been accepted to grad school. He got an emailed copy of his official acceptance letter yesterday, the real one should be here any day. He also was awarded a scholarship that will waive half of his out of state tuition! I'm so dang proud of him, he worked really hard these past few years to ensure that we can have a good future.

We have been applying for jobs in Boise like crazy. So far, nothing has worked out, but I have a job interview next Friday up there! The position is a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Specialist with kids up to age 18. That means that I would be working with kids that have mental health problems like depression, ADHD, or have experienced neglect in some form and teaching them the necessary skills to improve their lives. I am super excited for the opportunity. They have contracts with some of the schools in Boise where they have these specialists actually in the school working with students, and I would absolutely love that. In fact I think I would prefer it! So we will see what happens there! We could be moving to Boise any time now!

We recently got gym memberships. Like, two days ago, so that's pretty fun! Really I just wanted it so I would have a place to go running, but for only $10 a month I feel like it is completely worth it!

And that's all I really have for you! The life of a college grad is not much more exciting than the life of a college student!
