#65: i'm still here!

Yes I am indeed still around. My lack of posting may have led you to believe otherwise (assuming any of you are still around out there) but I've just been REALLY busy and not feeling very rant-like. Moving is very time consuming, not to mention expensive. Two very depressing things.

At one point my fingers were well sore from building Ikea furniture. What initially seemed fun quickly turned not so fun. I clearly could never work in the construction industry. But now that's all over and I have a pretty complete apartment well absent anything covering my windows.

This bothers me less than it probably should since my windows face an office building and the occupants are generally gone by the time I get home. I will go shopping this weekend for some wooden blinds though.

I'm doing my best to try to just be friends with DT and for the most part that seems to be going okay actually. I'm just happy he's still around in my life.

As for work, that has actually been quite a bright spot. I really like the directive of the group I'm working in and it seems like they're going to be some pretty interesting projects over the next year.

I'm also getting back into my gym routine and I'm looking to take quite a few trips this year.

First to Boston next month, Miami in May, going back home to the Caribbean in August for my sister's wedding and whatever else I can cram into 2009.

In addition, I've decided to pick up Spanish.

I've done Spanish (and French and Italian and German) before but that was ages ago and when I took a placement test it said I needed to start from Introductory Spanish. No surprise there, if you don't use it, you lose it. I'm really excited about being able to converse in two languages.

Hmm, maybe I should also plan a trip to Spain!

That's all for today.
