Soooo Christmas was pretty awesome! Got a super cool backpack from Debbie with built in speakers, super cool acoustic guitar from dad, super awesome green jacket from mom, lots of starbucks giftcards and some cash!

ALSO big point of news, I am typing this from my NEW LAPTOPPPPPPPP!!!! GLEEE! It's amazing, sooo much nicer and faster and shinier and smaller and betterererer! Loves it!! Major huge thanks to Paul for taking me from office depot to fry's to best buy BACK to office depot again to finally get it!! They keyboard is way easier to type on than my old computer too.

Plans for New Years Eve include going to the Aqua Club (whatever that is) to see my friend Kara's cousin's band play and then we'll probably go find something else to do. Then New Year's day the plan is to go skiing at Snoqualmie. Heading back to school on Sunday.

Much thanks to everyone for Christmas presents/money! Thank you cards will be sent out shortly :)

wooot

Last night I went over to Paul's on Mercer Island to watch all the christmas boats sail by! It was really fun, and there were a lot more boats than I thought there would be!

Today I sat around and worked on a REALLY hard puzzle all day. It' now almost half done and I'd probably have it done by tomorrow if I didn't have to go to work...

I can't wait for next week, I actually have plans! Monday I'm going to Sky High with some friends, and then Tuesday I'm going to downtown Seattle with Loren and whoever else is going. Wedneday I'm going to have friends over to decorate Christmas cookies and hang out! Can't wait

sleeeepy....

I'm super tired after a long day of work... And tomorrow is going to be even longer! But it's a lot of fun, and I get to see a lot of my friends up there so it's all good! Today I didn't bring up my skis or boots because I didn't think I'd have much time to ski, but I'm definitely going to tomorrow since I get off of work about an hour before the lifts close, and that would give me time to do about 9 or 10 runs after work, not to mention the hour before work, I could probably get some in too.

I'm back at home now, just hanging out, relaxing after spending all day being social! Blarg. Can't wait for the weekend to be over so I can hang out with friends and decorate the Christmas tree and whatnot!

I'm going to post pics of the hats I made soon! I made a bright neon colored one that I wore to work today and everyone complimented me on it! I guess it was even cooler than I thought it would be :)

more work

working this weekend at summit central from 10-3 on both saturday and sunday! sweeeet 10 more hours to add to my paycheck!

in other news...

I just crocheted my first hat! I'm gonna wear it pretty much all of winter break so don't be surprised to see me wearing a hat in every single picture that I may or may not post on here

woohoo!

Woohoo only one more final to go! So far I think I've done pretty well on my other finals. My english paper is a little short but I got the point across and that's the point of a paper isn't it? History, I was the first one to finish the test, which I'm not sure I did too fantastic on, but my essay should make up for it. And then tomorrow I have philosophy final and then I'm coming home on Friday! Woohoo!

Right now I'm packing up stuff to bring home with me for the break. Gotta take clothes, rice cooker, skis and work uniform... Lotsa stuff to take!

woot!

Work on Saturday was super fun! Alpental wasn't very crowded, so basically I just stood at the bottom for 6 and a half hours scanning the same 15 or so people over and over again. The snow on Friday night wasn't very good, and it wasn't very good for the people skiing and boarding on Saturday, but it's been dumping snow up there all night so whoever is up there today is pretty lucky!

On Thursday I went over to my friend's and saw that her mom had sent her an advent calendar and I was like, "Awww I've always had these!" and then later that night when I went to check my mail guess what was in it?? An advent calendar! Huzzah!

Today will be spent cleaning up my mess of a room, and tomorrow will be spent studying for finals. Part of today is going to be spent studying for finals too

Work!

So my friend Kara got an e-mail from our boss asking her to work on Friday, but I didn't so Loren and I are going to go up there with her and ski/board around while she's working. And then I got an e-mail from the boss saying that I'm scheduled to work at Alpental from 8:30-3 on Saturday! Sweeeet, finally going to get some hours!! I'm really excited to go skiing tomorrow, it will be the first time of the season!

Finals are next week... Going to be studying hard sunday through tuesday and then wednesday I have my history final and I also have to turn in my paper for english on that day too. Thursday  I have my philosophy final, and then I'm probably going to leave for home on friday the 11th.

Crotchet?

Today I attempted to crochet a hat and I got pretty far until it came time to try and make the brim, but I don't know what I was doing wrong because it just kept getting wider and wider and wider instead of going down to make  the brim. Online instructions are no help, they aren't very specific.

In about an hour I'm going to go get lunch and then I'm going to walk to Safeway to get some bagels and oatmeal (that isn't the reduced sugar kind) and chips and salsa. Then I have to work on my English final paper and then I have nothing else to do! Swwwweeeeet!

No news from the Summit on any work hours yet, but I'm going to volunteer to work Christmas day I think since Christmas day always sucks for me anyway.
