jim ward. post-graduates. holidays.

I usually forget about music in the morning. But it's a great way to rev up the day. So, today I woke up, read a few chapters in Nick Hornby's "Slam" and flipped on my iTunes. Jim Ward, didn't even realize I had the man on my computer, but wow, yeah me for putting this on. I'm sure it was a last minute snatch from KRUI before I headed out those doors into post-grad life. Post-grad life is kind of like being a Post-Op patient at a hospital. Everyone wants to know how you're life has or will change thanks to the operation/graduation, they want to know what you're up to, how and if they can help, maybe make a casserole to bear the brunt of the no-job front. Well, that last part's mostly for post-graduates. Anyway, my parents had a gathering at our home last night, so I caught up with all of their friends, filled them in on me, ask questions about them and theirs; it was good. I enjoy that sort of thing. Asking questions, learning about others, filling in the blanks. Perhaps that's why I like journalism and news. But these days I'm heading in all directions. Aiming for anything and everything, but not loosing sight of what I want myself to look like at the end of the day. So, we'll see how this all pans out. I'll fill in all the rest later.

Utter Ridiculousness & the Holidays

I woke up at 4:47 p.m. today. It was too ridiculous to not write about it in a blog. Last night I went to a Christmas party and later met up with some kids from Iowa, then didn't get home until around 5 a.m. Still, I slept over 10 hours and almost 12. That's ridiculous. Ok.

In other news: I'm so excited for Christmas time. I still have yet to buy any Christmas presents, but I will. Eventually.

Notes for everyone: Linens 'n' Things is going out of business. Check it out. Everything's 40-60 percent off. It's great. No, I don't work there or know anyone who does, but I had to mention it. Seriously. Everyone will be getting silverware, dishes, margarita makers, blenders and maybe if you're lucky some bath towels. Nice!
