Happy New Year!
So, I had the opportunity to drive up to New York for the holiday, but unfortunately, the planning came too late and I had to make sure I could get the rent in before the 1st...and the roommates just got in early this afternoon after 4 of their flights were canceled. They were supposed to be in on Friday. And their luggage was lost, go figure. No, Scott, you're not allowed to complain. :P I was already miffed I didn't come anyways.
At least I've been spending my time productively. I have a few resolutions, but that always seems less than genuine as they never last. So instead, I made a list of things I want to do.
1. Start the new job. I am continuing to put resumes and applications in. Meanwhile, I'm simultaneously putting in the extra prep for the federal law enforcement job that has been really appealing to me.
2. Dance. Or at least as in the words of Alison Jiear in "Jerry Springer, the Opera": I just wanna dance. I just wanna fucking dance! I did very well after being suckered into dancing for the current agencies Christmas party. They shoved me up in front of the VTC camera...and sent the to all the offices (in DC and about 3-4 other locations). And they recorded it. I was complimented by many people, which was nice...but it made me get the dancing bug again. So now, I'm looking at Bellydancing, Irish Dance, and Ballroom. Thankfully, this location offers a few good options.
3. Hiking. My Aunt put this bug in my ear this past year. I used to do a lot of camping and hiking when I was young, and unfortunately, that's gone to the way side.
4. Get rid of the credit card debt. I've still been working off the surprise computer purchase from this past summer.
5. Go to all of the Smithsonian museums. I never know when I may find a job that asks me to move from this area, so I really should take advantage of the ever changing historical exhibits while I have the chance to do it cheaply. :P
6. More road trips! ^_-
Meanwhile, I'll sit here with my bottle of Asti and watch Lady in the Water. :P Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the New Year!
