I finally graduated from school last month. It wasn't a huge ordeal, but it was meaningful. I definitely think that Elmhurst College was a good fit for me in all the important ways. The school has good values and hires good professors which I think is more important than flashy computer labs and luxury gyms (although the gym at Elmhurst is every bit as functional as gyms at bigger schools). I was really busy the last semester and had trouble finding a job out of school, but I did manage to do so. That said, the company that hired me wasn't a good match for someone like me, and I don't mean that necessary in a bad way. Door to door sales is just not what I want to do with my life. The fact is that even if I stayed with Silverfern and moved up, I would still be dealing with that same business model. There is also a strong chance that I would be dealing with the same product. 

Anyways, my birthday came and went. I worked on that day from 12pm to 9 so there really wasn't a chance to celebrate on that day. I got the 4th off, but wasn't informed until the 3rd. My birthday was salvaged by my dad taking me to a Sox game. I might get to go to another, my Aunt and Uncle are giving me tickets to an upcoming game. Maybe I'll ask a few friends. 

Overall it's been a let down of a summer so far, but there is still time to save it. It technically doesn't end until mid September if I remember correctly. So here are my goals for the summer.

1. Start a fun and exciting career in marketing

2. Go to a Baseball game

3. Get tickets for the Bears vs Dolphins football game this fall

4. See an awesome movie in theater

5. Set long term goals for myself.
