Ok, Ok, I know I start almost every blog post with “I haven’t blogged in forever blah blah blah,” BUT..this time I’m not going to….Promise.  I mean it hasn’t even technically been forever.  Just over a month?…So that only qualifies as a long time right?  I don’t know.

Since I haven’t blogged in a while though, I thought I would catch you guys up on what’s been going on/what I’ve done in the past month or so..cause I know you all die a little inside every day just hoping that I’ll blog…Wish granted, here we go.

1. I graduated over a month ago.  Um, excuse me…what?  That was a month ago?  Can we just pause things for a second? Anyone?  Where’s Adam Sandler with his little remote when we need him?  (Yes, if you’re unsure, I did just reference the worst movie ever made. K, maybe not the worst but it’s down there.)
2. The day that I graduated, being the sane and level headed person that I am, I woke up at 4:00 AM, got myself ready and arrived in San Jose at 6:00 in the morning.  You’re probably wondering why…and don’t worry cause I have a totally reasonable explanation.  To party.  The downtown San Jose Bar and Grill opens every year for graduation and serves mimosas and other drinks to all the graduating seniors. Crazy and fun.
3. I assisted an amazing photographer that I greatly admire with a wedding.  It was indescribably cool.
4. I took photographs of a gorgeous model in front of a mustang plane at a hanger in Hollister. We also ate Mexican food.
5.  I’ve done exactly 583 loads of laundry in the past month, and doing the dishes gets me out of bed in the morning.  My life is glamorous, ya’ll.
6. I recently read three books in one week…I’m obsessed.  But you know, I have OCD…so I’ll obsess over anything.
7. I finished my 18 unit, 6 class, 33 hour week (class time only, not counting assignment and homework time) semester with all A’s.
8. We got a new kitten.  He is literally the cutest but he might become a 1920’s mob boss based on his first weeks of life, the jury is still out.
9. Michael Henry and Justin Robinet blew my mind….again.
10. I was involved with an event called TEC at my church (Teens Encounter Christ) and it was a great weekend.  Things went really smoothly and I feel like the youngin’s lives were really impacted.
11. I saw Man of Steel…and Henri Cavil, Hi.  It was nice to meet you.  I think you and I could be very close friends.  As a matter of fact, call me and we’ll hang.  We can just chill and talk and maybe I’d even let you bench press me.  Ok?  Sweet.
12. I saw World War Z…My heart is still recovering from the repeated shock.
13. I’ve been (trying reeeeeally really hard) not to eat sugar or carbs since the day after I graduated, and I actually like how I feel from it, I don’t feel all sluggish.
14. I ate breadsticks….clearly the *diet*^ is strict.

So yep, that’s pretty much everything in a nutshell that has been happening in the past month.  Nothing super crazy, nothing super exciting.  BUT! I’m going on vacation with my family for three weeks to North Carolina soon. We leave next week and the thought of having to pack is already making me cry.   I really can’t wait though.  All I’ve wanted to do for the past five months is sit on a beach with James bond and drink shots of tequila while letting a scorpion crawl on our arms. Ok, maybe I’d get rid of the scorpion, and maybe I could only handle one shot, but the point is!…It sounds tropical and nice and like vacation and that’s what I want…tequila, scorpions, and James Bond?…I’m really just kidding, the fam can come too.

I’m gonna go now though, and I would say that I’ll blog again before I leave, or maybe even when I’m gone…but I think we all know that more likely than not, I won’t.  So world, I will write to you in the next month, or year, or maybe when I’m 67.  Who knows?

Love, Candace.
