Tonight Ends with Snow and Memories

My enthusiasm for blogging lately has gone down the tubes. I haven't really been able to come up with anything to write recently -- I've been pretty distracted with this whole deployment thing. It has really been taking up a lot of my mental frame of thought lately, and it has been difficult to really kickstart my motivation.

I'm not quite sure how to word this, but I kind of pitched the UNFPA game to the UN in NYC this past Thursday with my team......!!!! It was incredibly nerve-wracking, intense, and exciting. We kicked mucho buttox and had a great time telling some UN branches our goal with this game. I am really proud to be a part of such a kickass team. Things have been a bit rocky lately, and I'm really going to miss those who have left us, but I have confidence that we'll all be back together soon. We just need to keep our heads up.

Other than the massive amounts of snow we received today, and the copious amounts of close reading quizes I've been taking lately in class, the only real news I have to share is that I just bought wayyy too many t-shirts on threadless for Serge and myself and discovered that some of the shirt designs can be placed on walls as decals. Best idea. Ever.

I'm finally getting into some AS3, and it has me excited. I love watching my code come to life! I want to learn as much as I can because perhaps, someday, I might just find it is another passion of mine.

After a year and a half of sitting comfortably in my back pockets, backpacks, and purses, my very first Moleskine notebook is completely filled with precious secrets, poems, thoughts, and meanderings. I think I'll read through it tonight and see what college has brought me so far.

Updates

Back in Burlington, back in action, and finally back into the swing of things....almost at least.

I got pretty sick during the rest of my break, and I'm still trying to fully recover from it. This cold I have is making the adjustment a little more difficult.

When my roommates were all back in the suite, we got together and made a gingerbread house that one of my roommates got as a gift from her parents that she saved for all of us. We're still in the process of eating it.

Things with the UN project are moving forward again after a little kick-start meeting last night with the whole gang. We're going to New York next Thursday to present to the UN O_O. I'm excited/nervous about that experience. It should be interesting, to say the least.

I started watching Lost (the TV show), and I am hooked. I love the character development and the mystery. I have to admit that watching the first couple episodes where they showed the plane crash over and over was a little frightening, but overall I love the show.

I wrote a little poem over break! I haven't decided if I'll post it yet....

Newness

It's 2009, but after this long semester it feels like it should be 2011 already. I'm so excited about this new year. Opportunities may slip away, but new ones will come. I worked my ass off this semester and it payed off. I'm not really looking forward to the start of work again just yet -- I do enjoy time off -- but I'm pumped deep down inside.

This slight hiatus from work has given me time for some deeper introspection. When I lay down in bed, I think. I remember why it is I wrote so much before, and I ask myself why I don't anymore. I have notebooks filled with words. I don't have new notebooks anymore, so I'll have to make some.

I went on another adventure this last couple of weeks, explored Kentucky and everything that Serge has been surrounded with, and realized that I don't always panic on planes (I didn't today!).

He's going away, though.
I couldn't help but feel like today was the last time I'd see him.
I'm afraid.
Maybe that's why the plane wasn't so bad -- I just had something else to panic about.

Here's to the start of a new year. Let's make it a good one.
