At last! After five long years, plenty of hard work, and no small amount of worrying and stress, I have graduated from college! *pulls on another string separate from the birthday one and more balloons, streamers, and confetti fall from the ceiling*

Now I'll move home for a bit, relax for a few days, then get to work on finding a job. I'm so excited and nervous for what lies ahead. I know I won't be starting anywhere glamorous or extremely high-paying, but I'm really looking forward to doing work within my field. I'm looking forward to having something to do with my time, to earn money, and to get out in the world.

It'll probably be a few years before I get my "dream job", but I know exactly what it is I want to be doing. Here's hoping I keep on the path to reaching that goal. :D
