happy halloween!!
i’m already wearing my devil horns, much to the amusement of the russian woman who taught our morning class on cross-cultural communication. tonight i’m headed to not one but two halloween parties. fun fun.
got to get back to training, more later perhaps.
(1:49 p.m.)
ohhh, this afternoon is going slowly. i fear i am coming down with a cold. eek.
becca was talking today about how she is slowly accumulating a group of 5-10 close friends in houston. that’s funny to me. the thing i like about houston and having co-oped here is that when i took a full-time job, i already had something like 30 close friends. there is always someone around if i want to see a movie, get coffee, hang out, learn something new. and yet knowing that there are always people here, i also feel less pressure to subject myself to the whims of others. i take more time for me, and the time with my friends becomes more meaningful, and i am all-around happy. life is good.
also, i just found out that becca and i were volunteered by our mentor to plan the dm4 christmas party. this should be interesting.
there was something else i was going to say, but i’ve forgotten. oh! the high school college fair! chrissy and i spent two hours at clear brook high school last night talking to kids from all over the clear creek school district and answering their questions about georgia tech. i had such a good time! i love sharing my thoughts about georgia tech and telling others how much i loved it there, and i also like that i’m helping someone get the information they need to make an important decision. it’s a good feeling, being able to represent the school that gave me so many college memories.
talking to the kids, and then to chrissy on our way home, made me miss being in college. i miss the freedom, and the diversity, and the fun. and the environment, and always meeting new people. yeah. the people.
