So right now i'm looking at my schedule for November and December and I'm going to be a busy little bee.
I'm doing this new thing for work where I let people who are interested in our school know that I am going to be sitting at the local Borders or Barnes and Noble for several hours if they wanted to stop by and ask questions or talk about what is going on in the school. I've only gone to 1 so far in Leesburg where I was lucky enough to meet Charlie for Dinner and Josh stopped by later to share a cup o' Joe with me. Other than that, it was a bust. I'm hoping that in the next couple weeks I'll have a better showing. If this works than I'm going to try to travel to other states and do some more intensive recruiting. My eventual plan is to make it to every state and then bigger goal is to travel to different countries! That's a stretch, but I can dream.
Tonight I am going to Winchester. I wanted to pick up the new book for the book club i'm in anyways. This month's book is "The Road". I'm hosting the next bookclub so i should have something to say about the book I chose... I also want to get a GMAT study book. I'm planning to start applying to Grad schools in the spring for next fall.
Tomorrow is my daddy's b-day so I am gonna get our work to sign a big card and make a cake with some balloons and stuff. He's turning the big 6-0 so I want to make it as big a deal as I can.
Wednesday I have a tour first thing in the morning then I am going to Woodbridge...I already have 2 families that have said they are going to meet me. We just finished a registration for new students this morning. The next registration will be for the spring semester, but we have an Open House next monday that we've got to start preparing for.
I'm currently involved with this "Young Professionals Group" (YPG) based out of Winchester that is also a lot of fun. A couple weeks ago we went on a walking ghost tour of old-town Winchester. Next Friday is the biggest event of the year a "Casino Night" that's open to anyone who is interested. I think tickets are $30 and $35 at the door. It includes $10k worth of coins, all you can eat food and all you can drink beverages.
This sunday a group of friends is going to get together to have a "Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner" and then Ben and I are off to Georgia to have the real Thanksgiving dinner with my grandmother who we do our best to just keep from getting paranoid and angry at us.
Now i'm realizing I drank too much coffee and must run to the ladies room! That's a better update anyways...ciao
