After a long hiatus..

I figure it's about time to post again since I haven't updated after the nightmare that was the UFE (which was in Sept!! For shame!). So.... let's break it down:

October
  • winery trip with group of 7. Surprisingly fun. Not that I didn't expect the company to be fun... but it WAS all about wine, which I have absolutely no interest in. We did get cheese and crackers to go with the wine though, that part I enjoyed.
  • spent most the month agonizing over the results of the damned exam.

November

  • Thought I'd be all sweet and 'surprise' Edward in Boston for his bday... never doing THAT again. Why? 1) it was a week when he had like 4 midterms. 2) I gave him food poisoning while I was there and screwed him up for said midterms. Heh. Poor Edward.
  • Results finally came out. Sigh of relieve. Totally didn't sink in.

December

  • Tried to work like a maniac like Carol does. Apparently working 35 days straight will drive me batty. Luckily there was a flood in the office and I was able to enjoy a couple of relaxing days off during that period of time.
  • The month passed by super quickly. Dreading something always make time go quickly as was the case during the first half of the month with my lack of days off. Then Edward was here for the second half of the month and time definitely flies when you are happy.
  • Began to think about how high the UFE pass rate was this year... and wondered if I would've passed if the pass rate was similar to previous years.
  • Got yelled at by several people regarding doubts of the UFE pass rate. I believe the words, "What the hell is wrong with you? You passed! Forget it!", were hurled at me a few times.

January

  • Finally went snowboarding..... helllloooooooooooooooooo, fun!

It was a quick few months, filled with a lot of very, very busy times. Didn't have enough time to myself to think, let alone update this blog.

As for resolutions... my 2006 resolution was just the pass the UFE, didn't really care about too much else. As for 2007, I've thought of some, but they are just general guidelines for your typical young adult.

Don't blow so much money.
Don't eat too excessively.
Don't forget to exercise.
Don't blow so much money.
etc.

I also want to read more... AND... there's that ever-daunting task of looking for a new job and sorting out how I shall proceed to find a job in the states.

Looking very much forward to the CA convocation on Feb 24th. Got myself a hot date and found a dress I absolutely adore, can't wait for the ball!! Then it's off to Boston I go for week (hopefully no food mishaps this time), then maybe we'll even fit in a couple of days of snowboarding before the end of the season. Woohoo!!

time for: thawing my hands. typing makes them cold!
