Heh... I'm so not into Journal entries, but since I started, I feel an odd obligation to continue!

My grandmother died on November 14, and I'm still pretty upset about it... and the holidays are pretty tough... I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not shopping for her.

Other than that, my new job is going well, except for the fact that I'm being...

Chiller was INSANE this year. Apparently the Fire Marshalls or whoever were up the Chiller's staff ass and they regulated EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! There was a line to get up the escalator!!! I've been to Chiller every year for the past 6 or 7 years, and it's NEVER been like that!! They had lines to get into each tent, and the line for the main tent was...

Hooky from life! I can't seem to pull it together... All I want to do is hide in my house, but at the same time- I hate myself for it! I dragged myself to a graduate open house at Widener Thursday afternoon...... so it looks like I start taking doctoral classes in January!

But Chiller is next Saturday, and I'm definitely hitting that. I looked,...

I'm playing hooky for the next few weeks.

The new job as a corporate trainer isn't very exciting. It seems that every job I get has NO pre-set duties and responsibilities. Basically, I'm hired to "re-vamp" whatever system they have, get it in place, then keep it there. I have no suggestions, guidance, or even supervision!

I know some people would probably kill for a job like that, but I was looking forward...

Happy b-day to me! So far, I got a framed photo of a fake corpse that was signed, "Jen- thanks for the wild weekend... you made me feel 80 years younger! -Mr. Boogedy" That was from Justin.

Who knows what the day brings.... (other than a lot of free drinks of course!)

I start a new job on the 20th... I am now a "Training...

Lot's of changes!

On Wednesday, I picked my custom-ordered 2005 Mini Cooper! It's a deep PURPLE with a blabk top& full sunroof. I LOVE IT!

I've also cut my hair nice & short... YEAH! Now it won't blow in my eyes while I'm driving!

I've FINALLY become a legal resident of philadelphia... I changed my license and tags from Jersey to PA.

I'm actually very...

Things have been so-so... my grandmother's health is poor, and I had this weird stint where I didn't want to leave the house for 3 days towards the beginning of the week.

But Friday, two awesome things happened- my teaching certification was **APPROVED**, and the 2005 Mini Cooper that I ordered is now on it's way to US shores! I can't wait to get that...

Wow, what a day!!

The bad: my grandmother had a stroke (she seems okay now), I spent 3 hours needlessly with a bunch of car salesmen, I created a mess of junk that I DONT want to clean up, and my bf STILL isn't home from work (working 5 hours late, now).

The good: I won't have to pay a thing when I turn in...

Hooray- my class is finally over! Only 2 people failed... I hope that is an acceptable number!

It was SOOO nice to come home from work and have **NOTHING** to do and **NO** responsibilities to worry about!

I laid on my butt for 2 hours, then went to the gym. It was nice!

Unfortunately, I do not know the meaning of idle time. I spent...

I'm glad you all like the new pic... it was sort of spontaneous the other nite. I'm not even wearing makeup.

So no word on the next tattoo convention in Philly, huh? (yes, I'm being lazy!) I want to enter some of the contests, finally. Of course, I should probably turn my focus away from ice cream and back towards the gym.

Tomorrow is my...

My bf bought the classic Legend of Zelda for my GBA (yes, I AM a total geek) 3 days ago, and I have been playing it NON-STOP ever since! Yesterday, when I woke up, instead of getting out of bed, I reached for my game!

But what's REALLY neat is that I actually remember most of the secret locations in the game, which I last...
