Happy 4th of July, everyone! Well, belated, as it is now the 5th.
I had a very good weekend, and for once didn't try to do everything. I think that's why it ended up being as good as it was.
First of all, on Friday morning, I went to the career office for my appointment, and I am extremely happy about how it went. Apparently, the counselor at my career office actually has experience with working with autism spectrum disorders, so for once, it was actually helpful! Yay! She critiqued my resume, and she gave me worksheets with lists to fill in for job searching. They have room for companies I like and websites for searching. Also, she said that networking is important, but there are ways to get around the face-to-face thing, at least in the early stages, and there are mock interviews for later. I'm excited to start out now with my new information.
After work on Friday, my boyfriend and I went to go visit my parents and my grandpa for the weekend. We sat outside, played with the dog, had dinner, then we put on Pandora and danced until midnight. It was really fun, especially when we put on the Weird Al Yankovic station. Polkas are fun!
Most of my Saturday was spent watching lectures on the Middle Ages and sewing. On Sunday, we all went out to the diner for brunch, which was delicious, and we drove around looking at trucks, because my boyfriend needs to sell his car and get a truck. Later, my dad, my boyfriend and I went to see Green Lantern. My dad's a real DC fan (I tend to like Marvel better), so he had better insights into the characters, and told us how the movie differed from the book. The movie was generally enjoyed by all.
On July 4th, my boyfriend did yard work while I sewed. My dad was on call, so he was in the emergency room most of the day, and my mom had to go in to work, too, but as she works at the VA, she said it was a very good use of the day. Neither of them had a full day, though. We played in the yard, and let the bunny run around, which was incredibly cute. A delicious dinner was had and small fireworks were lit. My boyfriend and I had to go home before nightfall, as we both had work today, so we couldn't go out to see the fireworks. We could see them from the car as we drove home, though. Maybe next year we'll go out to see them. Next year, July 4 should be on a Wednesday, I believe. My grandpa said when he was young, there were parades and stuff for the 4th of July, and marching in those parades were veterans of the Civil War.
