So, this week couldn't get much better!!
Why??
1. I GRADUATED!! Yes, I am officially an alumnae of the University of Georgia [and yes, I need a big-girl job now!]
2. I have an internship for the summer -- it was supposed to be unpaid. They offered course credit, but of course I don't need that since I graduated and all! I met with them on Monday, then Tuesday I got an email that said they all agreed they would pay me a $1000 monthly stipend for the three months I'll be working there! Talk about complete surprise and excitement!!
3. I just checked online to see how my big [or small :/] my paycheck was going to be Friday, when lo and behold, I got a $.37 raise! No one told me, I had no idea it was time for one, but YAY! [I know 37 cents doesn't seem like a lot, but since it put me right at the next dollar mark, it feels HUGE!]
So, needless to say, I'm in a great mood today!
{one} do you watch the history channel? if so, what’s your favorite program?No, not regularly. Sometimes I'll watch a show that catches my eye every now and again.
{two} what is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?Stay indoors, particularly in bed if I can help it...and watch Lifetime movies with the roommates for as long as possible!
{three} what does your dream house look like?I'm not entirely sure...it depends on the climate of where I'm wanting to live at that moment. But I know I want a huge front porch; a big, open family room and kitchen; a great yard with lots of outdoor entertainment space. Right now, I really like the craftsman and coastal homes look.
{four} what state were you born in?Georgia.
{five} do you have a change jar? if so, what do you use it for when it gets full?No. I used to have a giant pickle jar but my parents have it now. It was supposed to be our Disney World jar, but we went before it got full!
{six} what’s the first website you look at when you get on the computer?Facebook usually. Don't judge me.
{seven} what is your favorite breakfast?Biscuits. Gravy. Bacon. Scrambled Eggs. YUM.
{eight} what’s the most memorable trip you’ve ever taken?I went to Jamaica when I was in high school on a mission trip for a week, and I'd love to go back!
{nine} do you prefer your coffee black or with cream/milk/sugar?The more sugar and flavor, the better. I'm not a fan of the way coffee tastes, but give me some Bailey's French Vanilla creamer and sugar and I'm good to go!
{ten} have you ever done a professional photo shoot?Do Glamour Shots or senior pictures in high school count?
Last, but not least, I need some suggestions for good summer reading! Now that I'm no longer partaking in higher education, I guess I should still continue to educate myself [plus, I need something to do while my roommates are doing homework for their summer classes! haha.] I just joined Good Reads, but I could still use some help! So, what are your favorite stories of all time??
Congratulations on graduating!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read Emily Giffin's Something Borrowed and Something Blue you MUST Read those.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett is amazing
Water for Elephants is a must read!
AND anything by elin hilerbrand is great!
Congrats lady! It sounds like things are going really well for you right now!
ReplyDeleteAs for reading, my favorite book of all time is Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron. It's set in Barcelona and the writing and story completely suck you in! If you're looking for some good beach reads, I recently finished Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster and i was probably the funniest bok I've ever read. A Total Waste of Makeup is another good one.
thanks so much for the suggestions ladies!! :) i'm looking forward to trying all of these books!
