Interesting...eh?

Ancient Ice Shelf Break Free...

X-mas and stuff

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas holiday! I had a great Christmas break, it just wasn't long enough. I came home this past Saturday after taking my boss to the airport and finished wrapping gifts. Then I went to dinner with my friend Dexter, from high school which was fun to catch up and eat some good food. Then on Sunday I went down to Middletown to meet Kim, one of my close friends from BG and former roommate. My godmother/aunt was having a Christmas Eve "open house" so we went there to eat and hang out. It was so great to see Kim and catch up with her. I definitely need to go visit her in Atlanta before the summer canvass. Jenny and BJ came down on Christmas day for a big lunch and to open presents. I got luggage, cloths, Sierra Club calender, new MCT cd, the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, the book An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, brown boots, socks, and some other stuff. So needless to say it was a great Christmas. In the evening I headed over to Amy's grandparents for Christmas Round 2 and stuffed myself again and had a fabulous time. That family cracks me up and is so much fun to be around. It's also great that I can drink beer and wine when I'm with them. I headed back up to AA early Tuesday to canvass which was pointless because nobody was home. Still not sure what my plans are for New Year's; I kinda wanna see what AA is like at New Year's but we'll see...

Where's the snow?

Alright well it's almost X-mas time and I'm grateful that I have friends who understand my financial situation this year. They know that when I'm rich and famous for saving the world I'll make it up to them. At work we are doing a CD exchange on Friday. We are all creating a unique mix CD and then making enough for everybody and then on Friday we get everybody else's. Things are going a lot better at work regarding my average. Last week I got 2 sustainers, and this week I have already got a hi-con and a sustainer. So hopefully things stay this way.

I was home this past weekend for a doctors appointment, to re-take the GRE, and celebrate X-mas with the Kohl side at my parent's house. Doctor's appointment went fine, the GRE totally sucked, and the Kohl family X-mas was fun. I got exactly what I wanted and ate so much good food. I'll be going back to Ohio this Saturday for X-mas, but unfortunately I have to canvass on the 26th. So I'll probably just leave really early Tuesday morning to get back up here.

Well I hope everybody is having a great week!!

ugh

So tonight was not so hot, in both senses. And what made it worse was a phone call from my father. That man sure knows how to piss me off. Needless to say we had an argument. Can't wait till this weekend when we get to hash it out in person. Lucky me! When are they going to learn that I'm not a child anymore...

I Moved!

I have officially moved to the wonderful city of Ann Arbor, MI. I have about a 5-7 minute commute to work which is awesome. So I'm close to downtown and alot of other things. I live in a house with 3 other people; 2 girls, 1 guy. All of them strangers but really nice and laidback from what I gather. Hopefully we'll all get along. Massive thanks to Jared and Chris for helping me move. I heart them! I'll be going back home this weekend to get whatever else I need/couldn't fit in the van or Jared's car. This will certainly include a dresser from Jenny & BJ. My parents will be coming up with me that weekend, so I'll have to show them a good time in AA while they are here. I'll post pics once I have everything unpacked and organized.

Snow has finally arrived and I got to spend 5 hours outside in it tonight. We went to East Lansing to canvass. It was really cold, but I had 5 layers on so I kept pretty warm. I had mostly students which sucked because they usually give like $5-10 bucks; so I ended the night with $103.25. Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I'll hit quota.

Hope everyone is staying warm!!
