Two Graduation Parties, Two Weekends in a Roll.

I'm glad to be done. I'm glad that I did these. It is definately something to remember for many years to come. I want to thank my parents for hosting the party last week and helping setup/cleanup the party this week. I also want to thank my friend Dot k_diddy and some of my coworkers, who probably don't read this journal, for helping setup/clean up.

It has been a busy weekend and busy day for me. I've had to balance a lot this weekend and today I interviewed the realtors. My head hurt like hell all today from lack of sleep and umm *cough*. I was up all night having stomach problems from the greasy chicken. You'd think I learn my lesson from last week. Did I? No... I only had two plates of food.. but I think the greasy chicken and beer didn't do well in my stomach. Note to self, don't eat greasy food and beer after 5 pm.

I had my dairy queen cake :) !! bounce bounce !

I loved the sandwiches from jewel, well at least the wraps. I'd definately order the wraps again. That might be a thought for a small house warming party and much smaller food wise. We had enough food to feed 20-25 people. Did I expect 20 people? NO. Did I expect 15 people? Maybe. Including myself I think there was only a total of 11 people who showed up to my party on sunday which was ok. I guess this means that I need to make more friends.. yep. :)

Got my dining room table and bedroom dresser full of party decorations and food items. I'm counting on dad brining a few boxes to transport these items. I've got plastic bags if necessary.
Dad is brining the beer and soda that people didn't drink from my last party, which is a lot. I've got liters of soda pop too. I think there will be plenty of food and games. I'm still undecisive regarding the dance game. I think I'm going to bring it anyways, it may be a fun thing for the party.

I'm picking Dot up from the train station around 1:30 and I'm so glad that she's not only coming to my party but going to help me setup and cleanup. My parents are probably going to head out earlier.
I've got lots of card games and things to do.

This afternoon I've got to pick up my dairy queen cake and sandwich trays from Jewel. I'm sending my dad off to get the chicken from KFC. The money/gifts people weren't supposed to give me at my last party is definately paying for this party.. I think it made it about even but I thank my parents for throwing me the last party and coming to help out with the setup of this one.

After this party I'm partied out and I hope the next party I'll be throwing will be a house warming party in my new townhome/condo.. I will go house hunting next week hopefully. Got to select my agent first.


Other than that.. I'm feeling anxious/anxiety regarding social situations but I think a beer or two will cool that fear down.

Now that my internet is now working. Who all is coming to my party tomorrow?!!

I've class in a few minutes. I've been taking a break to blog about my life. I'm thinking that I'd like to have my friends over for the holidays (before or after). I'd like to put up my christmas tree, play some music, have a fire log burning in my fireplace, egg nog, and holiday food snacks, and play fun games. I so want my class to be over. Wouldn't that be a nice gathering?

I'm taking Friday and monday off work to work on my class term paper and take-home exam.

Tonight I have class and will probably go home to clean, take out the garbage, and maybe iron my clothes.
Tomorrow I have my class at IIT and will eat dinner in the chinatown area. I'm already salvating for it...
I'll work on and hopefully complete another topic of my term paper.. the overview of the august 14th, 2003 blackout.


I think everything is going to be ok. That's what my mom used to say to me when i got stressed out over college and feared failing. I have succeded this far.. I will succeed in the end.
