Soooo, I saw Daniel's life update post and thought maybe it was time for one from me as well! Plus, I'm at work and I'm pretty bored.
Christmas was pretty sweet, I got a new camera (a powershot, pretty cool) and a 750 GB external hard drive that I will never fill up ever ever. Also, my little sister got me a rad Ed Hardy belt that I'm pretty stoked on. And I got paid holidays! That is a sweet invention I think.
I'm getting ready to leave everything I have/know in about a month for AmeriCorps and I think that in, say, 2 weeks I am going to become a complete basket case. The only thing that has been keeping me sane is my ability to convince myself that it is still pretty far off. But, alas, that is becoming less and less believable.
I have the most boring job ever, I am currently editing the user manual for the newest installation of my company's software, and it suuuuuucks. My boss keeps telling me about how he is making it his mission to convince me to blow off AmeriCorps and take a permanent position here. While that is very flattering, I think I might have to jump off of the top of this building if this was my real job. And its only a 3 story building, so I probably wouldn't even die I would just break both my legs and have to take the damn elevator every day instead of the stairs. That elevator be crazy, the other day I got in it and pressed "3", it took me to the 3rd floor, made a noise like it was going to send me crashing back down, then took me to the second floor and let me out. Crazy bastard. But yeah, who would have thought that a job at "Controltec" would be a boring one? Hmm?
I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do when I get back and I think I am going to move down into San Diego for a year. Hopefully Bryan will be around and we can go adventuring! I find out my LSAT scores this week I think, and I am less nervous then I was last month. I have kinda decided that I'm not positive thats what I want to do, and that maybe I will go get an MBA in non-profit management when I get back. There are some pretty rockin' jobs out there at non-profit orgs and then maybe I could work for a cause that I'm passionate about. But who knows, its all very up in the air. Mostly, though, I know for sure that I don't want to move back home when I get back, that is a no bueno situation.
Kitties are enormous and bad, Calvin has earned the nickname "Tree Demon" for obvious reasons. I will be glad when the tree is no longer in the house.
I am sad that I won't be going to see y'all at Jessee's NYE party but its just too far, plus I'm gonna go to the San Diego auto show on New Years Day and I'm pretty stoked on that. I will be partying as well though (at my other friend Jessy's house, strangely enough), so feel free to give me a ring/drunk dial and tell me how its going! I really miss you guys!
I am working on getting French to throw me a going away party at her apartment sometime in late January so I hope you guys can all come and see me before I disappear completely!
I guess thats it. Hugs!
