Catching up

Yes, I am alive-I have just been extremely slack about posting. It's not that I don't have anything going on-it's more like I've been too lazy to write. In fact, I've been lazy about everything lately. I'm in school all day and by the time I get home I don't feel like doing anything. That includes cleaning, working on my thesis (yes, I'm still working on it-thank God that there is not a due date) and exercising.

This weekend I did get a little cleaning done. A friend of mine and I were both born on Christmas and we are having a joint birthday party this weekend. It will be at my house, so I decided to start cleaning early. That way I don't have to go crazy on the day of the party.

School is going alright. I'm already burnt out though. That's pretty sad-it's the middle of the year and I'm already burnt out. I'm not the only one. It's seems like all of the other teachers are feeling the same way as me. Thank goodness we have a two week break coming up. I am planning on resting. I'm also going to work on my thesis some.

Since I last wrote I did a few fun things. I went to Memphis and visited my old roommates. That was fun. I got to go to a baseball game and to a local spot called Huey's. I also went shopping to this cool outdoor mall. I was excited because I got to go to Sephora. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. I wish we had on in Macon (lets face it-they would never open one up in Warner Robins). Maybe they'll have one when they open up that outdoor mall.

I also went to Nathan's family reunion. It was the family reunion on his mom's side. The reunion was at Jelly Stone Park in Northern Florida. I had a great time. I enjoyed meeting some of his other family members.

Last month I went to Atlanta to see The Police. I went with Nathan and my sister Karen. Before the concert we went to the new World of Coke. It was a pretty cool place. I kind of liked it better than the old one. The only thing that sucked about this one was that they no longer had Fanta Lemon to taste. I was so sad about that. After the World of Coke we ate dinner and then we went to the concert. Karen had awesome seats right behind the stage and Nathan and I had seats really high up. Fiction Plane (Sting's son's band)was the opening act. They were pretty good. I have one of their albums and I really enjoy listening to it. The Police were awesome! They sounded great live. They have so much energy. I had such a great time (Nathan and Karen did too).

Thanksgiving was good. I went to my family's Thanksgiving first around 4 and then I went to Nathan's family's Thanksgiving. They were making a fried turkey, but unfortunately it didn't get finished on time so we had the sides instead. The next day I went to my first "Black Friday". I went with Nathan's sister in law and her kids and a friend of hers. I woke up bright and early (at 4 a.m.) and then Nathan took me to her house. First we went to Walmart and them we drove to Athens. I bought a few gifts and a few things for myself.

So what is up next? Mostly Christmas stuff. Parties, parties and more parties. I love this time of year.
