Two weeks in

So I've been here in Richmond for about two weeks now. I got myself a nice 2 bed-2 bath apartment not far from all the main shopping centers and in a nice area. But let me say, it's no New York. It's more humid here and its cheaper. The area I live in is supposed to be the pricey part, but its nothing compared to what rent was at home.

Problem the one thing I don't enjoy is the way people drive around here. No one really moves and have issues turning and merging and I feel like I'm just way more aggressive than normal, even without going over the speed limit.

So I've been trying to get furniture together since I really don't have anything, and the best thing happened. These people who were moving in upstairs needed to get rid of some stuff and saw that I had nothing, so they offered some of their furniture. Now I am the proud owner of computer table and sleeper sofa. Hooray. It was just so nice!

Only a week left

And I will officially start working and I can't wait.

Other than that, I saw this site today:

http://www.go4college.com

It's a site that will tell you the chances of getting into different colleges for a price. It's interesting and shows just how important getting into top colleges is getting. Weird.

Two things

I don't want to sound disrespectful or anything, but I really don't like my apartment for two reasons. One is the fact that they seem to be doing yard work everyday or something that just doesn't makes sense and then charges up the ass for it. I mean a week ago they planted roses in front of the complex and they are already dead. The second thing is the people. The complex seems to have young families or old people. Young families are okay except for the screaming kids, but you can't really do anything about that. Now its the old people that are kinda weird. Most of them don't really have jobs of course, so they sit outside on the bench and just kinda stare at anyone who passes. Now the last thing you want is someone watching you park and take things out of your car...or more like stare at you. Then there is the fact that a few have handicap permits but never use them. Its more like a backup for them. So what exactly is their handicap if they don't even need the permit? Just lazy?

Then there is also the fact that I finally have a job location...or at least I think, hopefully. Its further than what I originally planned, but I figure that it's nice to get out of the area for at least a few years.

Now its been two weeks since finishing school and I am still just as bored. There's nothing to really do by yourself or that doesn't cost money.

Not to mention the fact that they are still doing renovations in the apartment which are just annoying since they are always around doing something that just messes things around. Not to mention the constant gardening that always seems to be happening. I really hate this place.

It's only been a week since I've gotten outta college and I have no idea what to do. I am already bored - sleeping until noon and then sitting around and really doing nothing because honestly, there isn't much to do around here without having, which like most students right out of college, money. There's also the fact that most of the people I would hang out with aren't around.

Hopefully once work starts, things will be better.

I'm done

It's finally happened. I've officially graduated and will no longer be attending school. I left Cornell for the last time and it didn't quite hit me until I was an hour away and I realized that I wouldn't be coming back in a few months. But I'm so happy that its over. Except for the fact that now I have no idea what to do. I mean, I usually have a summer job which I don't have and am worrying about what's going to happen next semester. I also had to make my first payment on one of my undergraduate loans. What am I going to do with myself?

Things are finally starting to wind down. Only two more days of finals then some other stuff I have to take care of. Ever since I finished my master's project, I have no motivation to work on the other paper I have to work on. All I really want to do is sit on my butt and do nothing.

It is also official that I am the only MEng left without a job offer and it sucks. What is so wrong with me that I haven't been able to find something but everyone else, including the seniors have been able to. I just want a job so at least I won't be poor during the summer as I start to pay off all my loans.
