Well, it's been a strange week. The one thing I can say is I wasn't bored. My editor let me go an hour early because I was finished with my stories and because it was Thanksgiving. I wanted to wrap something up and she walked by my desk du jour and said, "why are you still here? Go see your family!" That was nice to hear. I did some pretty amazing interviews this week...I've learned so much from this paper...and I'm definitely more outgoing with my writing and interviewing. I really love this job!
I got back to the apartment to no water. This isn't a surprise to any Shepherd students. A water main breaks at least twice a year. It didn't bother me too much, since I got to leave. I stopped at the Starbucks in Frederick on 40 and was on my way...rocking out to some Christmas tunes. "Run, Run, Rudolph" was the soundtrack to my arrival on 695. How approriate. But, if you know me, then you know that sort of thing happens on a regular basis for me. Wes Anderson is collaborating with Baz Luhrmann, and they're directing my life..."Truman Show" style. It's a bizarre, trippy, disconnected flick, with a pretty incredible soundtrack.
I want to travel..run off to New York, even better, Europe. I suppose the San Francisco trip in March with the English department will be a nice start, though...seeing Haight-Ashbury will be like visiting Mecca...to me at least. That, and City Lights bookstore. (Nerd alert!) Someday, I'll get out. I guess.
Happy Thanksgiving, folks...I had more to say but I started typing, and for once I'm actually sleepy. :) I'm thankful for that.
Enjoy your turkey...tofurkey...or whatever you'll be eating tomorrow. Most importantly, enjoy your family and friends. (and pumpkin pie!)
Oh, and if you're like me and braving black Friday...don't get arrested. :)
Peace
