Mini-update

So quick mid-week update:

I got my hair cut last week. I ended up cutting about 3 inches off. I was ready for something different. I went to this uber trendy place in downtown that I walk by everytime I go to work. It wasn't expensive and I love my new hair cut. Here's a pic:

I don't have a pic of what the back looks like because I'm not that talented. But it's short and layered.

On Sunday Katie and I saw The Departed. Holy shit!! It was really good just lots of blood. But a definite must see.

I had my letter to the editor published in the Ann Arbor News yesterday! Here's the link to the article: Oil-use changes should fight global warming

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Life Update

Work, work, work...I'm working alot but it's going great as always. I'm getting alot more responsibility which is what I wanted. Our office added 5 more canvassers in 1 week which is awesome. I've been helping to train some of the new people to be field managers for this summer. Summer will be huge because we'll have tons of people in the office. Also, we wrote letters to the editor after the State of the Union address and I got a call from the AA News saying that mine is going to be published. I'm super excited about that! In other job related news, I was offered an Assistant Director position this fall for the Ann Arbor office. So if I don't get accepted to U of M I'm going to take the position. However, if I do get accepted to U of M, it'll depend on if I get funding to go to school. Either way, I'll be in AA for another year which I'm happy about; and I have a back up plan if grad school doesn't work out. I'm excited that my life is starting to have some direction and I have a sorta plan for the next 2 years.

Jenny is doing fine, the baby's head is down but she's not anywhere close to labor. I've been working on Saturdays so I can take time off when she does have the baby. I can't wait!

Yesterday was pretty low key. I worked during the day, grabbed dinner with Pat at ABC, and then went over to Jessie's to hang out. We watched Employee of the Month and piged out on chips and ice cream.

Today will probably be a lazy day. I'm going to the movies with Katie later, but I'm not sure what we'll see. Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

Bop Bop Do Do

Ok, so life has been pretty crazy lately. I've been really busy at work now that we're working with the Sierra Club. We are doing a lot more campaign work for them; things like letters to the editor, press conferences, letters to Congress, and town openings. So I've been working on those things as well as canvassing every night. I'm doing better with this campaign than HRC. I usually average around $250 a night which is pretty awesome. It's been interesting canvassing in the snow. It now finally feels like winter and people are always surprised to see someone knocking on their door in 10 degree weather.

The party my roommates and I had went really well. I had a good time and drank waaaayyy too much. These are my roommates: (Erin, me, Stacy, and Josh)

Those are some of my co-workers: me, Lauren, Katie (1 of 2 Assistant Directors), Pat (my boss), and Jessie. We spend alot of time together. Last night Katie and I made dinner for everyone and then went out to the bars. Needless to say, it was a good night. The people at work are pretty much like a family to me.

Well today I'm gonna do some laundry, watch TV, work on grad school stuff, maybe go to the Y, and have dinner with my Dopple and Michael. I can't wait to see them!

Quick Update

So things have been going pretty well here in AA. The weather is finally starting to feel like winter. We have started working for the Sierra Club on their Global Warming campaign. I'm going to being helping one of our Assistant Director's Kira on campaign strategies like writing letters to the editor, press conferences, etc.

I went home this past weekend for my Uncle Kevin's wedding. Here is a pic of my uncle and my new aunt Lilly:

It was a really pretty wedding, and it was good to see the family, but it was a bit weird at the same time because I'm still close with my aunt Teresa. She'll always be my aunt no matter what.

Went bowling last night with Pat, Steve, and Katie from work. I'm so horrible, but I did manage to get a spare with my amazing "granny shot" ability. This Saturday my roommates and I are having a party. I don't think many of my BG friends will be able to come up though. But it should be a good time none the less.

Well I hope everyone is having a great week!!

"Best Years of Your Life"

Any other 20-somethings heard that before?

I find it interesting that these are supposed to be the best years of our life when in fact these may be the most stressful and terrifying years of our lives.

Enough said....

So This Is The New Year...

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Pat, me, and Steve at Leopold Brothers

I had a good night in Ann Abor. Luckly the downpour stopped around 9pm so we were able to walk to the bars. We started the night at Arbor Brewing Company and went to Leopolds to ring in the new year. We'll see what 2007 will bring...
