Updation Nation

For the time being, I am in Blue Springs, kickin’ it in my parent’s basement, in my old room. Though it’s familiar (I mean, it IS my room), it feels very foreign to me. It hasn’t really set in that I’m completely out of school and that I won’t really have a social life (for at least the six months I’ll be in Missouri). Especially since I’ll only be in Blue Springs for a bit over a week and then back to the ‘ville until August. 

Post graduation : I came home for Mal’s wedding (see post below) and then I went back to Kirksville to finish packing up the rest of my stuff. Of course, no week in Kirksville would be complete without some drama and good (really good) times. All in all, a good week was spent there packing and the like, a few BBQs, beers with Megaman and I got to hang out with Amanda and Nate. I wish we could’ve all gotten closer sooner, but better late than never, I suppose. 

I left Kirksville last Wednesday and my mom graduated from Webster University with her Masters in Nursing that same night. On Thursday, my dad, Ness and I drove back up to Kirksville to gather the remainder of my things. 

What I learned : I have a lot of shit. 

Since then, I’ve been unpacking, organizing, while still working on a few freelancin' projects for Leah so I’ve been keeping busy. I also have been sending out my work to some people the ‘rents know, so I will be bringing in my own work soon (hopefully). Today, we’re going to a graduation downtown and tomorrow is my graduation party (joint one with my mom). I’ll post pics. Here is one to hold you over until my next update:

Indifference in old room. Things to notice: random dolphins, The All-American Rejects & Blink-182. Some things never change.

Until next time,
