Now in the working world

It has been 13 days since I have graduated from college and so far it been a blast. I have been keeping busy between visiting with my family and friends, getting called in for substitute teaching and doing some yard work. I know that I can't have a lifestyle like that forever, but it is keeping me going for the meantime. It is not easy trying to find a job these days. Even though there has been an job hiring increase in four consecutive months, it is not finding me a job. At the same time, I shouldn't worry too much because I can substitute teach for two weeks and then be a job coach for autistic kids ages 18-22 from July to August, so I have plenty of time.
At this point I just have to be patient and wait for my opportunity.
On the bright side, I got $950 for graduation money and a brand new car. It is a 2010 Honda Accord with a 2.4 liter engine, 4 cylinders and 177 horsepower. It feels good to drive a car and know that everything works correctly, unlike my previous car. My old car was a 1997 Buick LeSabre. The problems it had were unbelievable. The transmission fluid kept leaking, the gas gage was broken so I could never be able to tell how much gas I had left, the speedometer was out of whack but fortunately I got it fixed and finally whenever I used my right directional and then turn I would have to turn it off manually. Otherwise the car worked just fine. "The Boat" will live on.
It feels good to be home knowing that I have so many members of my family and friends that care about me. It is such a comforting and reassuring feeling that I am a likable person, which that shocks me. Even though there is a lot of drama in Massachusetts, it sure beats drinking a six-pack of Rolling Rock while watching a Celtics playoff game by myself. Even though it was not my best year of school, I still had many good memories and met a lot of cool people. It makes me sad knowing that I will never be an undergraduate student at UNH again. Every summer I would work, hang out with friends and get prepared to go back to school. I can still do the first two things, but the school thing is over.
Was college the best four years of my life? I would have to say yes and no. Yes, because I gained friends I will always love and trust, I got to student abroad and I learned so much in and out of the classroom. No, because of the homework, the rigorous schedule, the cliques and I never had a significant other. Nothing is perfect, so I am not even worried at the very least.
