I am done for the most part, I am done teaching, done with most class assignments, but still have 3 presentations to give. I spent an entire week working day in, day out on a research proposal, sleeping on an average of 3 hours a night. I managed to get it finished but no where near to my satisfaction. Oh well.
New York was wonderful. Idina was fabulous. We were literally front row center. It was the last concert of her tour so she was very relaxed and ran around the small theater greeting all of her fans. While i'm in no way in the catagory of one of her super fans, I think she has amazing talent and she puts on a fabulous show.
As a side note, while I was leaving the parking lot, I came across one of her back up singers, Sharon. She was trying to get to the PATH train, so I offered her a ride and she willingly accepted. IMAGINE! I took someone who performs with the star of Rent and Wicked to the PATH train in my back seat. The connection is really quite silly, but none the less, I find it exciting. This is how close we were:
Anyway, this weekend is full of fun. Had the thanksgiving dinner for my co-ed ultimate team tonight. I'm playing ultimate in Winter League tomorrow. I have a surprise birthday party to attend and then a camp out, and then sunday our house is hosting our annual Thanksgiving potlock! I am so excited this year because a lot of friends will be coming from out of town!
I will do better with the blog once school is over.
Notes of interest:
-One of my dearest friends Ashley Parker Waugh will be coming home with her husband Donal Waugh, over Thanksgiving so I will go to Emerald Isle on Saturday the 29th to visit them. Her husband is a pilot in the United States Air Force, currently stationed in Enid OK, and will be heading to survival training in preparation for station in New Jersey and subsequent deployment to Turkey.
- I will be working at the chocolate factory again. But you thought I said I wasn't working there again. Well, I bargained. I said i'd work if they paid me time and a half. So they upped my base pay to the max they offer and just said whenever I wanted to come back that is what my hourly pay would be. I said... you gotta deal!!! I mean.... after 4 years of employment and promotion to a shift manager I only saw a total of 50 cents raise. My demand upped my pay by 2.25 an hour.. which is the max salary they offer. They are wonderful people, but it is about time I was paid adequately for the work I do.. and I guarantee they will see a more cheerful employee!
- And as per request, I am still looking for my photos of whales, which I do have, but until then, here is a picture of penguins!!! I will do another update with info about the antarctic trips soon.
Love you all.. until next time <3
