You know you are getting old when you are really excited about the socks you got for Christmas. My mom bought me some real high quality winter socks. She told me I will need them where I’m going. She is worried about me being in cold weather, a valid concern. I also got a new IPod classic! Mine was four years old and on its last leg. I had been asking my family for best buy gift cards so I could buy an IPod before I left. My sister gave me a $25 gift card then asked for it back and said she would just buy me the IPod. Big sister of the year award? I think so. So that was my Christmas. I rang in the New Year with my BFF, my Bro and his fiancé, and a hand full of our friends. Good times. All in all I had a great holiday. It was bitter sweet thinking that I may not be able to spend next Christmas with my family.
In other news, I’m still waiting on that call from placement. That eight week mark is encroaching on me like a flooding river and I’m treading water, hoping that the swelling river doesn’t completely overwhelm the embankment- my preverbal patience, and drown me. OK it is not that serious. That analogy just came to me and I went with it. However, if I am still going to Eastern Europe in March, than I would need to be notified within the next two weeks. I will be ready to leave, but at the same time 8 weeks’ notice seems like such a short time. And I find it funny that my close family and friends ask me – so did you hear from Peace Corps yet? As if it were something that would slip my mind or I wouldn’t call them immediately after talking to placement. lol.
Side notes:
I switched to wordpress from blogspot and renamed my blog I Am Mine (formerly Creatively Maladjusted). I tried to submit it but it is taking a while to show on here, longer than my blogspot one took. Anyone know if there is something special I have to do if I already have one blog on here?
I wrote “here” instead of “hear” twice when writing this entry. I think I need a nap.
