So, I'm done for a few weeks and will now attempt to get caught up on everything I've been neglecting. And that includes Christmas shopping, decorating, baking, etc.

So, next week you won't be able to get rid of me!! :o

Got B's in Marketing and Law so I'm happy, not thrilled, but happy. Still have to register for classes next semester but I'll worry about that later! :D

How'd all of our other students do?

What about eveyone else? How's work? Job-hunting?

Everyone ready for Christmas? Hanukkah? Kwanza? Etc.?

Going through House withdraw yet?

I still have to go Christmas Shopping but, I'm dreading the traffic and crowds. I've been making cakes; I've made an Italian Cream and a Carrot, and as soon as I find a recipe I'm making a German Chocolate. (And if I'm able to make it to the House Party I'll make a cake for it)

I got invited to go to England with a few friends this summer, my mom will probably let me go if I get a job and use whatever I make to pay for the trip, and she pays the difference. Luckily one of the friends was born an hour north of London, and we're staying at one of his relative's house. So I really only have to worry about the plane ticket and spending money.

I might go on a road trip to New York over spring break with a friend to see, Avenue Q. Luckily she has grandparents who live an hour away in NJ and we'll stay their and take the bus into the city.

I got a 90 in English, and either an A or B in History. None of my other professor's have posted the grades; I know I failed Art History I sort of stopped going to that class half way through the semester and never turned in my final paper. Animal Behavior I don't know but I'll be happy if it's a C.

I've started re-watching the show from the beginning and watching the re-runs they show on TV. But I want Jan 9th!

MY evil room mate moved out, but we're getting someone else.

It was the worst exam week I've ever had, but everything turned out fine--I'm ecstatic that I got an A in Conducting (I did trade about three days' worth of sleep for it ;) ). Next semester...I've got to take my gen ed math course, which I'm not thrilled about, but I am taking fewer hours, so maybe it'll balance out.

I still haven't de-stressed yet; there's this feeling like I still have something I need to do for school and I ought to be running around worrying about it. I'll feel better after everyone comes over for Christmas (ham and biscuits at Christmas, never turkey :lol: ).

Carrot cake? I want some. ^^

Has it snowed for anyone else yet? I'm sulking about our weather; it feels more like May than December. I know better that to hope for snow (we get maybe two good snows a year) but is it too much to ask that it at least get below freezing? Or at least below, like, sixty? For Christmas's sake? :(

And yeah, I'm prettty mad at FOX for cutting me off from new House episodes now that I actually have the time to sit and enjoy them. But I'm thrilled they showed Deception last night. I love that one. It actually reminded me to get moving on my Christmas shopping; I'm getting my best friend Season 2 of House so she can stop mooching off mine. (Don't you love the holiday spirit? :P )

Oh... is that where everyone's been... studying. I see. Oh, how I miss the days. Oh wait... I hated school. Now I hate work. I'm a hater!

I've quit the job search and settled for my old job plus some new responsibilities. New responsibilities have yet to kick in, but old work is so slight that I've been piddling days away by sleeping in, surfing internet, and generally wasting time. It is complete BS and the reason I wanted to quit (i.e. relatively small load of work followed by almost 0 work makes for very bad moods and tons of boredom). On the other hand, I've been nominated as a "mentor" for newbies (ha!). But I'm headed back to hometown (while supposedly doing my new responsibilities) in the coming weekend and then to HQ and then back to AK.

I'm in acute House withdrawal and they hasn't really been a lot of good fic to keep me satisfied. And my own attempts are failing to fulfill the need.

On a good note, it dumped a few freshies yesterday- about 4-5 inches of the white stuff. We needed it. Was getting icy again. But I completely wasted the day and I'm terrified to bring out my xc skis (and my ski pants) because I've grown horribly out of shape in the past few months and will probably fall and split the gore-tex. Hopefully, my soccer schedule beginning in January will help with that- fielding for 2 teams and GKing for a few others. Yay! On a bad note, I realized this morning that I will probably be stacked on Tuesday nights with 2 games- which means that the purchase of a VCR is inevitable.

And my xmas shopping is not done... crap. Merry merry xmas... bah humbug ;)

ETA: Stomps feet... damn work... damn them! Now I'm going to miss a minimum of 3 weeks of soccer thanks to training newbies. I love making committments and having to break them... HUGE pet peeve.

My job feels like school. :rolleyes: I just finished a big report that's getting reviewed. I'm doing labs all day long. Every other person there is a class clown. :lol:

Recess anyone?

P.S. Alice Cooper all the way!!! B)

You all made it! Congratulations. I may kind of sort of have a job, maybe. I talked to someone at a staffing company who is going to pass my resume on to the actual company and I would be doing technical writing. According to the staffing firm woman, they're a nutraceutical company, an industry which I think is an utter waste of money, but according to their site they do all kinds of testing so I don't know.

On the "Oh, no I've forgotten something" feeling, I know exactly what you mean. It took me several months after graduation to get rid of it, then I seem to have slipped into a semi-catatonic state for the next few months after that.

I'd still like to get a chance to teach, but am feeling sort of overwhelmed by the responsibility and the knowledge I might need but might not have.

At least virtually everything is more or less ready for Christmas.
