Back in So. Cal, slow at posting!

Okay, it's been WAY too long since I last posted. Not like I have an excuse...I haven't been up to much lately. Graduation was in December and it went really well. But it was also a really long day. There was a very nice catered lunch with speakers and music and things of that nature. Then my family took a bunch of pictures outside. I was freezing! Then we had commencement and then separated into colleges and had graduation. Again, throughout all of this there were more speakers and more music. Among the speakers was Elder Holland and Elder Kerr. It was a very nice event, even though everyone was exhausted by the end of it. So, that's it...Now I'm a college graduate. My future plans involve a teacher preparation program through Cal State Fullerton, once I earn enough money.

Until I get a job and start earning money I am kind of stuck with nothing to do. I am trying to get a job at a school district because there is a rumor that they will pay for employees to get their credentials. Unfortunately, the district is kind of slow about updating their job lists. So, I am expanding my job search to receptionist jobs. I just need a way to earn some money so I can get into that program. I have applied a few places, and I do have an interview tomorrow, so we will see how it goes. I am hoping the excitement level in my life will pick up soon. I don't really know anyone my age down here anymore, so I don't really have anything to do.

On another note...After searching for weeks, since I got back to Cali actually, I finally managed to get a Nintendo Wii for my brother. He had been saving up his money for awhile just so he could get this thing. He, and I, also called a ton of stores almost every day trying to find one. No one ever had them in. So, last Thursday I heard a rumor that 'Toys R Us' in Riverside was going to get some in, so I went around 9 or 10 in the morning only to find out that it was not true. So, after driving around for awhile my mom and I decided to go into 'Circuit City' on a whim. I went in and was looking in their game section when an employee came up to me and was like, "Are you looking for a Nintendo Wii?" Then he told me that they had gotten one, and only one, in that morning and they still had it. It hadn't even been checked in yet. So I bought it. My brother was extremely happy about it! He owes me for life now.

So, that's all from me for now. If anything else comes up then I'll let everybody know. Take care and peace out!
