Graduation is less than 30 days away. For the time being, graduation means I will be moving back home to live with my loving, nagging parents in a city in which I no longer know anyone. Not super appealing. I was home this past weekend and my Momma Mia had recorded a movie, Post Grad, starring Alexis Bledel. In the movie, Bledel's character played a girl, who had just graduated college as the second runner up to top of the class. She doesn't immediately get her dream job after graduation, but she lives with her off-beat family and spends all of her time with her best friend/boyfriend, a future lawyer. Still Bledel feels like a loser for being unemployed. In the end, Bledel gets her dream job and the loving boyfriend. All I could think while watching the movie was how much more of a loser I was about to be without the hot future lawyer boyfriend or the prospect of any friends or opportunities in my old home town. Not the best feeling.
I keep thinking maybe I should just hop a train to New Orleans and figure everything out when I get there. I could always get some small apartment in the city and just apply for some kind of job down there. I've always wanted to do something with Haunted History Tours. Maybe they are hiring. Living and working in New Orleans would be a dream. Far better than living in Woodstock.
There is still a few more weeks. I am hoping life will come together by May. Fingers crossed for me. If nothing else, I might be hopping a train to New Orleans. Cheers to the future.
