Have a safe + happy happy Christmas season!
December 24th?! Already?? I can't believe I started work THREE weeks ago. Seems like yesterday I was cleaning my room getting ready for work. Life whizzes by when you're having fun! Yes, work IS fun :) I swear! December was a great time to start work - I averaged 2 Christmas parties a week! Getting familiar with geophysics again is going smoothly as well. Seeing as I have no holidays to speak of, I will be one of three people on my floor next week. I could take more coffee breaks...but who would I talk to?!? LOL. No...the starbucks people don't know my name...yet.
I am super-excited about training next year. My supervisor told me I really should try and go to Houston for the 5-week Exploration & Production course (aww...houston??) but there is a geophysics course only offered in Rijswijk (who knows if that is the correct spelling...yay, Holland!) in September. So...perhaps Kilimanjaro will wait til next year, 3 week stint in Europe, here I come!
What have I been up to besides work the last month...well, work takes up 9 hours...C-train another 2...sleeping gets 8, leaving 5 hours. 2 of those are devoted to getting ready + dinner...woo, 3 hours to spare! There aren't enough hours in a working day...grr! But lately, I've been trying to finish Tender is the Night and catching up with my best buds from high school. Oh, and sorting those 4000 photos I took on my trip. Cutting down to 300 of the best of the best to print.
Christmas eve...doesn't even feel like it. I'm loving the almost 10 degree weather (yes, celsius!). I will make a strawberry ny style cheesecake today, and prepare a huge 11-person dinner tomorrow. Yup, a roast beef and baked chicken will all the trimmings. Mmm...who doesn't like glazed carrots?!??! mmm...baby carrots. Esther is coming from Edmonton today! Horray! My sister is awesome. I guess I should clear an area where she can sleep.
Ha ha, have an awesome holiday...and yes, indulge in chocolate. I certainly am! As my friend told me, Mary Christmas!
p.s. Colleen ROCKS!!! She got me the Jack Johnson dvds!!!!!!!!ahhhhh!!!!!!!! i miss thailand.
