It's been a month since my last post. Give me a break. I'm still not used to this whole online journal thing. A lot has happened since May 6th. Allow me to give you the rundown.

May 6, 2008 was the last day of finals. Of course I passed them all with flying colors. Four days later (May 10), I graduated from college. The reality of that last sentence has not quite sunk in, so please forgive any continued talk about Athens being home or "my roommate" who I no longer live with. I came back to Atlanta on the 11th (the day after graduation) only to spend two days packing for a ten day trip to Israel. On the 13th I flew to New York to spend two days with my lovely friend Tess (who suffered a massive hangover while at work for me), and then flew out of JFK to Israel on the 15th. The ten day trip in the Holy Land, which will be chronicled in another episode of Carlen's Blog because there is far too much to say in just one posting, ended on Tuesday the 27th with my arrival back in New York at 5:30am. From there, I flew back to Atlanta that same day. For two days I recovered from jetlag, and that Friday (the 30th), with my parents, I drove to Athens, rented a U-haul, and packed up my apartment, which we promptly drove to Charleston, SC to move my shit into my sister's apartment there. On Sunday, less than 48 hours after arriving, we left Charleston to come home to thrilling Marietta, GA. And what have I been doing since then? Nothing short of nothing.

Now I find myself sitting alone in my room, or alone in the kitchen of my parents' house, or alone on the back porch, wondering what the hell I am doing with my life. Its the worst possible time to be looking for a job in the US, and to add insult to injury, my parents are trying to sell our house. Yeah, cause that's actually a really good market right now. My boredom is almost consuming me. I mean, I guess there is a silver lining--I'm so bored I'm writing on my blog.
