Still lookin' for a job...

Whoa, hey, I'm back. So sorry about the long absence peoples, just been so preoccupied with graduation and, as of late, finding a job for the summer. First off, I'll give you a quick run-down on how graduation went down.
1st) Tuesday night, around about after midnight, picked up my grandmother on my mom's side from the air port, Wednesday I had my college graduation (just a quasi-casual dinner banquet and a short ceremony which saw me recieving my AA degree and giving a somewhat tearfull farewell to my teachers and counselors who were part of the program I went through), picking my mom's dad up from the airport that night around the same time as we'd picked up grandma, Thursday we had my all-out graduation party with my family and friends from both my old church and the church I'm currently attending all day long, Friday was my official High School graduation ceremony (much more professional in its setup than my college graduation by comparison) followed by a night out with a few old school friends of mine and my cousin's to dinner and then a failed attempt to go bowling, Saturday found me at my cousin's graduation party at her house, and Sunday, after church and my little graduation ceremony there, my family rendevouzed back at my cousin's house again for my uncle's birthday and my parent's aniversary all before taking my grandparents to the airport to catch their flight back to Iowa Monday evening.
Anywho, since then I've been looking for a summer job to cook up enough cash for me to hopefully be able to pay for the GL program I'm planning to attend at my church out in Maple Valley come this fall. Even if I do get the money, my enrollment is still kind of up in the air for the moment. Anyways, whilest I'm workin' that out, I'm going to my older brother's wedding out in Florida in a few weeks for about three days or so. God really came through for my family on that one. Basically, financially speaking, my family isn't in the best shape to be helping me pay for college or GL, much less a trip to Florida and it was going to take a miracle just for my dad to go. So, low and behold, whilest my brother's fiance is feeding us deals for round trip plane tickets, my dad's mom calls up and basically offers to pay for tickets for the rest of us to accompany her to Florida while we helped dad pay for his ticket. So, it looks as though everything has been opened up in our favor, thanks solely to God almighty himself, and I don't say that lightly.

Well, I guess it's back to the job hunt for me, for now. Until next time, keep on truckin'.
JAck out.
