The Life of an Unemployed Graduate

A little less than a month ago...I graduated college. I am pumped about this accomplishment and excited to move back to my hometown but I already miss living in an apartment with my friends, laying in my bed all afternoon watching sports center once my two hours of class for the day were over, and of course...the scorching rays of sunshine on my face in Sanford stadium on a Saturday evening....

At my graduation ceremony the student speaker's speech was called "Yesterdays Students, Today's Graduates, and Tomorrow's Unemployed." How true. His advice to me was to ignore the fact that the unemployment rate is three times my GPA. I am doing just that. Until a job comes through, I am organizing my room and other fun things. Two days ago I went with my friend Rica to a giant used bookstore. It was exhilarating but the real thrill was going to this new Thai restaurant afterwards for lunch...I sat in "the rain room." I fell in love. I sat on this fancy cushion on the floor...Indian style...or let me be politically correct...I believe the board of education would like to now call it "criss-cross-applesauce." My kids will sit Indian style...because truthfully...I'm not sure the Indians have ever been offended by that phrase. Back to my story, there was rain pouring down the walls and I ate the best fried rice of my life. That's actually the end of my story.

I've been watching my cousin play basketball, spending lots of time with my sweetheart, and cooking...

Yesterday my friend and I cooked White Chicken Chili....DELICIOUS....let me give you the recipe...

boneless chicken breasts...i suppose as many as you want...I say the heartier...the better!
chopped garlic
diced onion
teaspoon of cumin
tablespoon of oregano
2 cans of white beans
and chicken stock

so yum.

AND...we made white chocolate cheesecake....

two packs of cream cheese
half a cup of sugar
bag of melted white chocolate chips
and two eggs (place them in last)
bake for 35 minutes....cool for maybe 20 and chill for hours....YUM.


well that's all I've got....that's the life of an unemployed graduate....until next time...
