I guess we'll start with the jobs. I started working at one of the local hotels towards the end of March until the end of June. I won't get into the specifics here, but I quit. At the end of July, I started working at the other local hotel, which is where I currently write to you from. I really enjoyed the hotel environment and wanted to stay with it. My new boss is great, and totally accommodates my schedule and being a student. Down side? I'm a night auditor. This basically means I come in at 11PM and clean up, run the end of day reports at 4AM and then have breakfast out between 5-6AM. Not many people check in after midnight so I get a lot of time to read, knit, and study.
Graduation was pretty great! My mom surprised me and had the party at our family reunion so that everybody could be there. It had been in the works for months and I had absolutely no idea!
I start college on Tuesday, August 29th. I've already taken two semester's worth of classes, but the college I'm at right now didn't accept most of them so I'm still considered a freshman. This semester I'm taking Biology for Science Majors w/lab, Essentials of Lifespan Development(Psychology), Interpersonal Communication (Speech), and College Algebra. I'm pretty excited, I've already gotten through the first chapter of my speech and psychology textbooks, and my biology textbook should be here Friday. I didn't buy an algebra textbook because it wasn't required and I wasn't spending $300 on a book I wasn't going to need.
As for reading, since this blog is primarily reading and knitting, I've finished 15 books since I last posted a "Finished Reading Friday." I'm working on reviews tonight as well, but here's a list of what I've finished.
