Kate’s Rants

well it’s been quite the weekend.

Saturday i finally graduated from college! wooo! no more school for me ever! anyway, the ceremony was really long. just a bunch of names being called. when it was over, the freeborners gathered for some pictures and then we all dispursed. me, parents, brett, and brad went to old town sac and ate lunch at nick’s dad’s place. then we just wandered around. the guys all went to a bar to watch the soccer game, and my mom and i walked around to the stores. we ended up in the candy store and it was awesome. we bought a bunch of candy that brought me back to kid-dom. they had gum cigaretts and ring pops and push pops and big league chew! ahaha. it was awesome. then we went to the mall because it was hot, and hung out in a bookstore for awhile, and then found some tables. we had reservatioins for Il Fornaio (a fancy italian restaurant) at 5:30, so we were waiting around till then. we finally went over there and had some yummy food. they have really good bread. (but my leftovers were gross. i guess they’re just good when its fresh…) then we drove back to davis, and my parents and brett left for tracy.

on sunday BIRTHDAY, brad and i went to santa cruz. my parents were going too with some mock trial kids. so we left around 11am, and got there about 1:30. we just walked right through the amusement park area to the beach, and hung out on the beach all day. it was really nice. the weather was perfect beach weather, and it was nice to get away from the 100 degree weather in davis. we didnt go in the water, but next time i’ll definitely have to. it was also nice to see my parents there. i was really glad that my mom was getting along with brad, and they were joking around and stuff. sometimes my mom doesnt like my friends, and it’s important that she likes my boyfriend. so that made me happy. (my dad likes everyone.. so of course he’d like brad.) anyway, after the beach we went to little ceasars for some $5 pizza and then went back to davis. tons of traffic, but oh well. then the next morning i took brad to the airport so he could fly home.

as for my jobs:
i currently have 2 jobs. sortof. i’m working at freeborn doing the event thing and the setup thing. and for the next two weeks i’ll also be working at the MU business office (MUBO) on various days. (thurs morning, friday, mon, tues, wed) just doing random things. today i worked there for 2 hours, just filing stuff and making copies. i think that’s probably what i’ll be doing thursday also. and maybe some data entry on the computer. whatever. it’s hours and i’m getting the same pay i get upstairs at freeborn so it’s all good.

i also applied at the movie theater today. after i turned in my application, i heard “KATE!” and i looked and saw simon behind the concessions counter. i laughed and went over and told him brianne and i are going to work with him and he looked a little shocked. he just kinda stared at me in a simon way. i cant explain it.

anyway, i’ll hopefully get that job so i can work nights there and days at freeborn. all is well with the world.

my money situation is not looking as bleak as i thought it was going to be. so that’s good. i might actually save enough money to survive in scotland! wooo!

this summer is all about saving the money so i can make it to scotland. and of course hanging out with all my pals.

however, the hanging out will also happen when i get back to california after scotland. living in tracy will surely bore me to death, so i plan on being in davis pretty much every weekend.

THE END.
