That's All Folks!

Well, I graduated. My formal education in the U.S. school system is complete! And, dare I brag about my last semester grades? Here I go, since it really is my last chance to do so. The next time I brag about grades it will be on a bumper sticker on my minivan proclaiming my kid as an honor roll student at some middle school somewhere! So...

Financial Modeling: B+
Global Strategy: A-
Negotiations and Conflict Resolution: A
Power and Politics in Organizations: A
Independent Study: A

Not bad, eh? Enough to make my mother happy! Now all I have to do is find myself a job. Which seems only slightly less daunting than getting through business school. Well, good luck to me. But in truth, that is on hold for a few days. In fact, everything is on hold for a few days because bigger and better things are happening to me this week. This week I get to "unwrap" the best graduation gift ever!

I AM GOING TO THE AMERICAN IDOL FINALS!
That's right. Read it and weep! I am going to the American Idol Finals in LA at the Kodak Theater! My sister hooked us up with a couple of tickets to the show and I am beside myself with excitement! I cannot believe I am actually going to go. I mean, who goes to American Idol? Well, me I guess! I am so excited. I love that my sister is the person that she is. Someone who can talk her way into or out of just about any situation. Including tickets to the finals of American Idol. What a graduation gift! I leave first thing tomorrow morning and I can hardly wait.

Boys
I am feeling pretty solid in the boy department. Jason called on Sunday to congratulate me and I was touched. For sure I thought he would forget! Of course, I have not heard from him since (after calling him back yesterday), so we will see where things go from here. But I admit that it was nice that he called. Jack is being kind of lame. But, you know, that is what men do often. They feel uncomfortable or insecure and rather than just deal with things, they become defensive and distant. I feel like Jack is trying to push me into Jason's arms for some reason and I can't figure out why. And, more importantly, I just don't care. Jack and I could possibly have something special between us someday. I am not sure and I am certainly not convinced. But I am open to the possibility. I know now is not the time and I am not sure the time will ever come for us. But Jack...I don't know. Maybe he needs to feel like he is rejecting me to make himself feel better? Because it feels like he is rejecting me but it's weird because I don't feel like I am in a position to be rejected. Does that even make sense?

Well, I am looking forward to not talking or interacting with Jack for at least a few days or a week. If not longer. I guess I need a break. I mean, I love him, he is a dear friend. But he is being weird right now and if he keeps it up I may grow weary of his friendship. So I guess a break is in order.
