Random News

I finally joined the Y. My friend Debra talked me into it. She has been talking up the Y to me for years but I have always resisted because it costs more than other gyms. She finally convinced me it was worth it because of all the free classes they offer. So I joined. Then she and I, along with another friend of ours, started going to the "Core (that's your abs) and More (that's every other muscle group in your body) Class." All I can say about that is "Ooowwww."

Ashly and John are moving to San Francisco. John got a job there. I am both sad to see them go and excited for them. They've been traveling to SF on the weekends looking for an apartment. They have until March to find a place but they're ready to get there now. I am glad it's only a 2.5 hour flight there. I'll visit often.

I'll be in Virginia for two weeks in January. I have my first two intensive classes to complete. That will mean class all day and homework all night for two weeks. Sounds like fun, no? I have two classes after that in the Spring, then one more intensive in May, and then I start my internship. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Doug is now "Airshow Coordinator" for both the AirForce and the Tacoma Events Commission. I will miss him this summer.

My mother, who sits in a chair and watches TV all day, will eat KFC popcorn chicken every single day of the the week if I let her. Sometimes, I do. (j/k) I think the KFC employees think I'm nuts ordering the same thing every time I come there. I haven't told them its not for me, yet. Someday I will.

When I was in the Commissary last week there were two cashiers who could not identify an unshelled pecan. This was incredible to me. I thought everyone in the world knew what a pecan was. This is probably because I grew up on a farm in Alligator Mississippi that was surrounded by pecan orchards. I have been eating them all of my life.

Over the Christmas holidays I have four textbooks to read and two workbooks to complete before I head to class in January.

I should be doing school work right this minute but instead I am wasting time writing this poorly crafted blog.
