So my weekend was fun and exhausting. We shopped, ate, swam, hung out with my family, etc. The graduation itself was outside and it was pretty hot. Dustin and I left shortly after my brother's name was called since we had a two hour drive ahead of us and the traffic was going to be hell after graduation.
My brother gave me a tip on a job he knows will be opening up this summer. I don't think I am qualified but apparently, two people have told him I should apply. Its exactly what I'd like to be doing, but again, I really think I need a masters degree to get it. My bro's response was that they don't want someone with a masters because they have to start them out at a higher pay. Anyway, its a high school counselor job and I guess I'll send in a resume because what do I have to lose? I won't be surprised if nothing comes of it, since that is what happened with all my other resumes and applications. My former roommate graduated on Saturday and he'd been given a great, high paying job before he was out of school. He also claims to have sent out 150 resumes and he has a masters in computer information systems management. Another former roomie got his masters in business a year ago and is currently working as a DJ at weddings and school dances. So I guess a masters degree isn't always the answer, but in my case, I'm pretty sure it'd help. Most psychology/sociology jobs require higher education.
Dustin and I want to go shopping tomorrow but it prolly won't happen. He would need to get out of work early and to do that, he'd need someone to cover the second half of his shift. That boy is becoming more of a fashion whore than I am, which is damn fun. Speaking of, I picked up a cute outfit this weekend. Finally got my camo cargo pants. And I got a cute double layer tank with slashes on the top front layer that form a butterfly. The bottom layer is army green and the top is light pink. It's probably gonna be my Warped outfit this year.
My car is okay again. The check engine light is coming on because of a sensor that isn't vital, so I'll get that replaced in a few weeks. The radiator hose that burst that week was a cheap and quick fix, although with smoke and fluid gushing out from under the hodd, I was worried was a few minutes. And lucky for me, my insurance covers up to $75 towing per incident--that has saved my ass numerous times. So a new car is on hold for awhile. I still hope to get one later this year or early next year.
Tubing weekend is set for the weekend after the 4th of July. Dustin's dad is so awesome for letting us invite our friends down there for the weekend. He's gonna cook for us and let us camp in his backyard, right on the banks of the Muskegon river. Its gorgeous down there, I should post some pics I took a few weeks ago.
I am thinking about getting my hair highlighted or something tomorrow, since my friend Rich is in cosmo school right now and they only charge $5-10 for color. I need something done but I am thinking of keeping it kinda tame if I am going to possibly be interviewing at a school (oh did I mention its my former high school--how weird is that?). Of course, my counselor back int he day wore all out hippie clothes, never wore socks or hose, had a tattoo that was always visible, etc. So maybe they are used to a bit of eccentrism, but I still doubt pink streaks would fly.
