One time I graduated from college (you can send cards and gifts directly to me). Do you know what happens after graduation? Growing up.

I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid. I only wish I could use that excuse.

Do you know what else happens after graduation? A flood of emotions. I have been so emotional lately. And no, it's not just that time of the month.

I was so excited to be graduating and my family came and my friends were around and I was done with school and summer was on it's way. Life was good. As long as I didn't think about the future.

Do you know what else comes after graduation? The Future. With a capital F. I have a love-hate relationship with Future. When you're in school, your future is more school, and who doesn't LOVE school? But when you're out of school and you're future is _______, how can you love that?

I'm still at UVU doing my internship, and I'm so grateful that I've been able to keep that position for the summer, but it's temporary. That means it ends. And it ends soon, the end of August to be precise. Do you know what happens after that? Future.

Anyway, back to my emotions. So I've been emotional lately. Maybe I should stay unstable: I've been unstable lately. I can't seem to get a grip on much. Everyone keeps telling me to just have faith, to wait, things will be ok. It's good advice, GREAT advice. But what am I supposed to do in the meantime? THAT is the big question. That's what I can't get a grip on. I am a planner (not a spiral bound calendar), I like to plan. How can I plan when I'm just waiting!?

So, until I can make some plans, I've decided to delegate. There are so many things I have to do and I'm delegating them out. A few people have already called dibs. Let me know if you want dibs on anything left. (This list is open for additions and changes.)

Delegations:
Finding a job
Finding a place to live
Finding me a way to get home for a visit
Staying clothed and fed: Hannah
Finding me a fiance: Hannah
Getting advice filled with optimism: Derek

Very cute and clever post. You wouldn't want to live in Idaho would you?
