A little background info...

Okay, first of all, I haven't graduated yet, and I am still living at home. I'm just getting a head start on this whole blogging thing.

I have known nothing but school and summer jobs since I was a kid. I went straight from high school into university. I did move out from my parents' for the summer last year, but I was a short drive away and I always came home to do laundry. I have never been more than a fifteen-minute drive away from my mother. Oh, my wonderful mother, who has helped me financially a lot these past few months, who I love dearly, but at the same time, who drives me completely insane.

I have one week of classes left, and my actual graduation date is next month. As of right now, I am broke, and looking for a job in the city I plan on moving to. My reason for moving down there is to be with my boyfriend, whom I haven't been with for very long, but he's something special, so I'm taking the risk. Go me! I have known the guy for a couple of years, and he's my best friend, so I'm not completely crazy. If I can find a job down there, I will be moving as soon as my exams are done.

Am I excited? More than words can say. Scared? You bet. I have nothing holding me here besides my family, and I'll only be a few hours away from them. My sister (another best friend) already lives away from home, and I will probably see her more often once I move. I have one or two friends here, maybe, but for the most part, the people I know here are whiny and gossipy, and I don't like to associate with them. The people I have met so far in my boyfriend's city don't seem any better, some of them are actually downright weird, and maybe, in the future, I will blog about some of them, which brings me to my next point.

I will be blogging about the people I meet and the people I already know. I will not reveal their identities, although I will be brutally honest, maybe a little sarcastic, and I will be making fun of them. Everyone will get a nickname... this is going to be fun *evil grin* I do love picking on people, but I also pick on myself, so it's fair.

There's no denying I will miss home, but when I look ahead to this summer, I feel like there are adventures waiting to happen. A new chapter of my life is about to begin.
