more random stuff I haven't had time to say anything about until now
So the week after Christmas was really hectic at work, but we all pretty much expected that. Thankfully I haven't been scheduled since New Years Day, so I had time to start packing and sleep in, both were good.
New Years Eve I had to close at work, but that was at like 7:15, so it wasn't terrible. My parents and I were invited to a party, but I've been feeling pretty emotional lately, so I really didn't want to go to Jim's house and be surrounded by a whole bunch of happy coupley people, especially when the ball dropped. So I got home and called Katheryn, who also was invited to a party but didn't want to go for the same reason. So the only thing to do was to watch tv and drink champagne in our pajamas together. I stayed at her house, but I didn't get much sleep and I had to get up early to open at the store, so I was not happy.
For the most part, the only other thing I've really been doing to take up my time is finish watching the last few episodes of Firefly. Two days ago I rented Serenity to see where they took things from there. Overall I loved the movie, especially the mini history of Earth that was surprisingly believeable (of course I do have to say that if the movie had been made a year or two later, the story would have said that everyone left earth because of pollution/global warming, but overpopulation was more of a hot topic then). but I was sad that some people died. Also I wasn't a fan of the scene when Simon helps River to escape because the bad guy's rundown of her psychosis to Simon was inconsistent with how much Simon knew (or didn't know) in the show.
Wow, that was one of the geekiest things I've talked to myself about for a very long time. Rollies would be proud, or they'd just be laughing at me.
Anyway, Heather and I are going out for Chinese tomorrow night and then to a movie, so horray! Then I'll just be getting ready to go back to school. Flying to Nashville on Wednesday, and I'll be staying there until Sunday when I actually fly up to Pitt. Need to make sure someone can pick me up, mostly need to make sure that someone isn't Jake.
