Cause For Celebration

Last night I was going over some numbers and I realized something. I have the $50,000 to pay off my student loan once I graduate next year! I’m excited. I honestly thought I was going to be farther away that I hoped to be because of my Trip to New York (and because of the Jag and other things I‘ve been buying). I guess working my ass off really does pay off. I’m putting the money away in a CD so I won’t have to worry about me touching it until next year.

I think this is cause for celebration. I’ve done a lot this past month that I’m proud of and I feel like celebrating. I went to New York and found my parents (even thought they broke my heart), took on a really big job with lots of clients, put in my two weeks notice at restaurant so I could dedicate myself fully to my passion, and finally saved up enough money to pay off my student loan when I graduate (which means I put myself through college all by myself).

I have Friday and Saturday off (and so does Indy) so I have a lot planned. Friday morning I’m sleeping in then going to a Forth of July barbeque at a friend’s house (hot dog eating contests, drunk karaoke singing, and unsafe waterslides down the side of a hill included). Then we’re going to the Hollywood Bowl at night where we will be in really good Garden Box seats and see fireworks, a few Dodger players, and Randy Newman (the main reason we decided to go was because I find Randy Newman’s voice funny). On Saturday, I guess there’s a surprise belayed house warming party (even though we got the new apartment/loft over a month ago) for me and Indy that I’m not supposed to know about.
