Well not really more, but I've added to what I already have, and I'm still waiting for 2 or 3 people to send me their pictures so I can add to my collection.
Now for the long awaited Graduation pictures! This folder contains 3 additional folders that are broken down into 3 different days. Before Graduation, Graduation Day, and my reception after Graduation.
That's all the pictures for now. I'll give more of an update tomorrow.

14 hours after graduation
And I don't really feel any different. lol My parents where there (obviously), Lora, Maria and Licha were also there. There were only 4 students (including myself) from the ATC program (I assume everyone else who would have graduated got jobs in the travel industry). I didn't see Kathleen, but I did see Evie and Marc. I felt kind of...gipped that Kathleen wasn't there. I e-mailed her a couple of times letting her know that I was graduating and from her responses, I got the impression that she'd be there. No other students from the ATC program were there.
I missed having honors by a tenth of a point! My over all GPA was 2.9 something and high honors is from 3.0-3.74 (highest honors from 3.75-4.0). There's nothing I can do about it now, but it gives me something to strive for when I get my bachelor's degree. I want that gold cord! lol
Now for pictures. They aren't completely organized. I have them broken down by day - when I first got my cap & gown, graduation itself and then for the party on Sunday. I wish I would have taken my camera (or at least my phone) with me. I missed a bit of group shots with the other 3 people from the ATC program. 59 pictures with more to come! As a nice gift, ASB bought all the graduates frames with Cypress College on it. They opted for less food and to get the gifts. I thought that was nice, because apparently there were other frames being sold for $15+ (one frame that was really nice was $80!) So I have my Cypress College frame plus 2 other frames. I can't wait to see how the professional pictures came out! Sometime next week we should have proofs.
So I was talked into actually going through with my education. None of the classes I need/want to take are offered during the summer so I have to wait until the fall to take them and I'm going to apply to CSULB in August if I want to go Spring 2008 or in October if I want to go Fall 2008. If I go Fall 08 I don't have to rush in making up classes, if I do Spring 08, I have to rush...and I won't have much of a financial plan together. I think I'll wait until October to apply.
My cat got out this morning for like an hour. I was pissed that I had to get up at 6 something this morning to try and get her. Finally it was food that brought her in. and then my mom tells me that she's been out since BEFORE she left to take my dad to the train. OMFG! She could have told me instead of leaving her out there! Someone could have taken her, she could have gotten hit by a car or worse, in my opinion, gotten pregnant (yeah, I know I need to get her fixed)! That really made me mad. So now I have to keep her in her carrier or in my room when my parents go out in the early morning.

It couldn't have come at a better time!
Graduation gift from my Uncle and cousins. $$ I'd deposit in the bank today, but as soon as my parents get here, we leave for the college.
I was really freakin' out about money because I have Netflix due Saturday, I have to get my cake Saturday and I know there was something else, but I can't remember.
This morning Jasmine gave me a card from her, Marlin and my sister. That was nice. I haven't opened it yet, but Jasmine was like, "Mom wrote you a check..." Gee thanks for spoiling the surprise. lol
About 30 minutes ago my friend Jen had some flowers sent to me. They're nice yellow roses, yellow and white daisies, and one other flower I'm not sure of. They're really pretty and in a yellow smiling mug. They were sitting by the door but my cat kept eating the petals of the flowers. So I put them on the fridge. Not like that would stop her, but I don't want them to go in my room just yet.
It's 325 and I don't have my make-up on and my parents aren't here. I hope they hurry up and come! It's going to take AT LEAST 45 minutes to get to school, and that's IF my parents don't take a long time to get ready.
1 1/2 hours until line up
2 1/2 hours until ceremony starts

I don't feel like recapping...
Today...well yesterday was interesting to say the least. I finally got things straightened out with Universal Electronics and was offered an interview with them. I went to that (full detail in a bit), kind of got the bank/money thing straightened out and now I'm sort of on cruise control with the whole graduation thing.
Thursday started out bumpy. I set my alarm for 7 am knowing that I like to lay in bed a bit to "wake up" and I should have set it for 630 am. I got up at like 715 and was slow to get ready. I missed the 730 bus and I didn't want to wait until 830 because then I'd get to the interview at 1002 and that's late. My mom dropped me off at the train station and instead of waiting for the bus that would have gotten me there 30 minutes early, I opted for the one that was leaving when I got there (train station). So I got on the bus and we were off. 30 minutes later I was getting off that bus and going to chatch my second bus. Waited about 10 minutes for that and another 20 minutes I was getting off that one. Here's were things started to go bad. I was walking across the street to wait for the 3rd bus when I fell! Skinned my right knee pretty badly. And broke the straps of the tote bag I was carrying. Usually I can feel when I'm about to fall, but this time I couldn't. I don't know why...maybe because I was listening to music? who know. I didn't have anything to clean my knee with so I kind of had to let it dry under my pants. Thank God I was wearing pants or it would have looked very bad. Third bus comes and I'm nervous. I'd never been this particular direction on the bus so I didn't want to miss my stop. I didn't miss my stop, but I walked to blocks the wrong direction. I got my barrings and headed in the correct direction (later found out there's a bus stop closer. I know that for next time). My interview time was for 10 am and I got there at 950 am. I try to get to interviews between 15 and 20 minutes early so I was stressed I wasn't there in my ideal time frame.
The interview itself was okay. Met with the receptionist and Sr. Recruiter for 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes was with the HR Director. I think both parts went okay. I hope they went okay. After meeting with them, I'd like to work there (and after 6 months I can transfer to other depratments if I wanted) and I found out the hours that I'd be needed would be 11 am (to cover the receptionist's lunch break) to 5 pm (to cover when the receptionist left for the day). I was told that the earliest I'd hear back from them would be Friday. I hope it's something positive! After the iterview I had small talk with my friend Janice and the receptionist, loosened up more (which is good) and made my way home.
I missed the 11 am bus (if I wouldn't have stayed to talk I probably could have made it) so I got a manicure and my eyebrows arched...missed the noon bus so I went the round about way of getting home - the opposite direction I needed to go, then back the way I needed to go. So I didn't end up leaving Cypress until 1 pm. I was going to stop by the college but I didn't know if anyone was going to be there (and I needed to hurry and get home incase my parents weren't there when Marlin got out of school). I took the kind of long way back to the train station, but I used the time to sleep. Here is where the other bad thing happened. I got off the bus at the train station, I was walking through the crosswalk and fell again! I've NEVER fallen twice in one day! Something with my balance is waaay off. More of my tote bag broke, but I didn't skin my knee anymore than I had the first time. Got on the other bus...it would take me within 10 blocks or so of my apartment if I walked - I opted to wait for the bus that would drop me off across the street from my apartment. While I was waiting, I kept hearing someone honk but couldn't tell where it was coming from. Finally turned around and saw my mom. So yay, I got a ride home.
On the way home, I told her some about the interview and falling and she suggested I go to the er/hospital/dr. Don't have the insurance or money to cover that so I'm going to have to pass for now. If I continue to fall, I'll go or something. When I got home, I got online right quick to check my e-mail, watch the last of NCIS and then I slept until 1030 pm. Before I went to sleep, my Uncle (he lives in North Carolina and Detroit) called. He told my mom he got both announcements I sent (one to the family house in Detroit and one to his house in North Carolina) and that he had my cousin write a check to me because he didn't know what I needed. I don't really need anything other than money lol. My mom kind of told me that but she forgot to ask him how much. I know this Uncle, so when he gives money, he really gives. He's my favorite Uncle on my mom's side - reminds me of my Grandpa (their dad), so I'm anxious for that.
When I woke up, my mom told me my neighbor Angie was calling my name (I was asleep and didn't hear her) so she could give me a graduation gift. I'll give her a thank you card the next time I see her. Hopefully she won't be too "hurt" if I wait until I get my gradaution picture to give her the card. Sometimes she's...weird and gets this attitude if she's not thanked right away for things. But she gave me some kitty slippers, a graduation frame I can write on, a certificate (which I'm going to give to my church so I won't have to order the one I saw online), a photo album, a little graduation bear and a card. It was all really cute.
Hmm whatelse...There was some Lost special on TV when I woke up. I watched it and part of me wants to see the 2 hours finale next Wednesday, but I don't know if I have other shows that I watch that will be on. I know the results for AI will be on, but I'm not watching that anymore since Melinda isn't there. Other than that, I don't know what other shows will be on...what other finales I'll want to see. I know I'll have to record something.
It feels like it's supposed to be Saturday, but it's Friday. And it's 130 am and I'm still awake. I'm going to try to go back to sleep.

forget their help
I'm tired of waiting to know if I'm going to have help in getting the things I need for graduation so I'm going to do it myself. I'll go out and buy my own cardstock and make the announcements, Lora is letting me borrow her cap and gown (I hope it's not too long and too small lol), I think Licha (church friend) is going to search for cap picks to put in cupcakes for May 27th. I'll just order the certificate of appreciation for the church and my picture when it gets closer to graduation.
This week I'll work on how I want announcement to be so that when I get back from AZ next week I can look for paper and print them out. I have a few thank you cards from my high school graduation so I'll have to get a little bit more of those. I'll ask my mom to search for family addresses so that come May 1st (if not sooner) I can mail them out.
UGH! My computer is running VERY slow! It's annoying because I don't know if it's the computer or the websites I'm trying to access. In either cars, it's frustrating me!
I feel like crying and I don't know why. I'm going to lay down and wait for Dancing with the Stars.
